Home Updater: Report Bugs and Issues Not Related to Installing Apps / Re: Searching "portable" in th...
Last post by dking02 - January 30, 2026, 04:15:59 PMIf you are specifically interested in searching for portable apps, change the app type filter for the search at the top of the screen from "All Apps" to "Portable Apps" and then enter a name or vendor string/substring if needed in the text box but without the word "portable".
The word "portable" is actually NOT part of the name attribute of an app. The display name you see for an app on the screen is generated by the Home Updater software appending the word "portable" in yellow font to the name of the app when the value of the app's attribute IsPortable = "true". Since "portable" is not part of the app name, a search for apps with "portable" in their names will not return most of the portable apps in the App Library. An exception to this behavior is for portable apps which also have a non-portable version.

Last post by adnavcn - January 29, 2026, 04:19:03 AM1. search for "portable" in the search field, of the "all applications" section, of the App library
2. you will see that several portable apps, like "sysinternals suite", or "BD Rebuilder", for instance will not appear
expected results:
that all the apps that are portable would appear in the results
actual result:
only some apps appear, not all of them

Last post by MassDeployment - January 28, 2026, 09:47:56 PMI am experiencing this issue now. I pre-provision my devices and I only have 8 apps required in there. The pre-provisioning is fine, computer Reseals then I give it to the user. The problem is that when the user logs in and it does the ESP Device setup section, the Apps (Identifying) takes like 10 minutes, then it says (None Applicable) or something like that.
I checked the AppWorkLoad.log and I can see that's evaluating all my "Update for <app>" packages because they are marked as Required to All Devices.
Lets say I have the VLC Media Player package created, I mark it as Available for All Devices that way people can download from Company Portal. I also create the Update for VLC Media Player package and mark it as Required for All Devices, assuming that that way when an update gets released those who installed the software will get the update.
My AppWorkLoad.log is processing around 45 packages.
What can I do so I can make this better?

Last post by Christophe Heereman - January 26, 2026, 03:34:18 AMHi,
I can confirm Michiel's solution.
Earlier we had already executed the SQL query referred to, so it seems these permissions were removed somehow in our environments. Executing the query again has solved the issue: the manual way as well as the automatic way.
The permission removal was almost certainly caused by the installation of an OOB update for WSUS at the end of October 2025, i.e. OOB CU KB5070884 (23 oktober 2025 - KB5070884 (OS-build 20348.4297) Out-of-band - Microsoft Ondersteuning) from CVE CVE-2025-59287 (CVE-2025-59287 - Security Update Guide - Microsoft - Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability). This update contains WSUS changes and was recommended to install ASAP by our Microsoft TAM. It was installed in our test and production environment, introducing the "PMPC issue" in both environments around the same time.
@niclas2874 , in our case we download full content (so not metadata only) in WSUS, but this has nothing to do with the issue (at least not in our case).
Grtz,
Pedro

Last post by Michiel (Patch My PC) - January 22, 2026, 01:22:21 AM@niclas2874 We haven't gotten confirmation yet, but in this case, the issue seemed to be caused by insufficient permissions. For more information, please visit:

Did you get this to work so you see the updates in wsus?
I have the same issue
Do you have the applications as Full Content or Metadata?

Home Updater: Report Detection Issues or Installation Issues / PowerToys downloads but doesn'...
Last post by highstream - January 20, 2026, 07:20:41 PMPowerToys (x64) updates show on PMPC and the updates download but never installs; PMPC doesn't change colors or versions showing. I always have to do it manually through the program itself. In addition, just now I updated it to 0.97.0, but your system re-prompted me as still having the previous version.
