Title: PatchMyPC Home Updater won't run
Post by: Marvalsys on April 07, 2026, 03:27:57 PM
I have a friend I'm trying to help who is elderly and not very good with tech. She has Win11 Home 25H2 and had been using PatchMyPC Home Updater until I recently noticed it wasn't running. I had to do a non-destructive Windows reinstall from the Settings > System > Recovery screen to overcome some corruption that SFC and DISM couldn't handle, made sure to recheck the .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows Features from Control Panel, and have tried several times to uninstall, download, and reinstall PMPC v.5.4.3.1. Each time the install ends with no indication of success or failure and the program doesn't run (it does display the UAC prompt but the UI never appears). How do I proceed?

Forgot to include that the most recent uninstall was done using Revo Uninstaller's Advanced scan to find and delete all traces of PMPC - still didn't help.
