Home Updater: Report Bugs and Issues Not Related to Installing Apps / Re: Can't Pin to Taskbar

Last post by tennisace57 - May 08, 2025, 06:33:50 PM

I've running into the same issue since I upgraded to version 5. Usually unpin/re-pin works, but tonight it didn't. The icon changes to a blank white icon. When I open the icon properties where I could "change the icon" I got an error message indicating that the Windows cannot find the icon file.

Thanks so much for your explanation. It was very helpful. Relatedly, if the scheduled updates functionality is enabled, does it make auto update & silent installation moot?

For example, the schedule is set 9 pm daily and the PC is unattended.

Autoupdating means that Home Updater will automatically start updating an outdated app when opening Home Updater. No user action is required.

Silent install means that the installation is done without displaying the user interface for the setup program or requiring any user action. You will get the default installation for the app and the installation process will not be displayed on the screen, including any options for the user to customize the installation.

There are global settings for these two options in the Settings tab and individual settings for each app in the My Apps tab.

Justin,

The scheduled silent updates appear to be working on both PCs now.

Thank you!

In the MyApps list in the app's context menu, what's the different between "Auto Updating" vs "Silent Installation?"

Hello,

Unfortunately, I don't have any immediate solutions for you that don't involve WSUS, however, I would recommend reading the article we posted here: https://patchmypc.com/wsus-deprecation-announcement-patch-my-pc-customers about the WSUS deprecation. It seems that some will read way too deeply into deprication announcement, but WSUS is still fully functional and supported and will be for many years. There is further evidence of WSUS' continuing support in its inclusion in Windows Server 2025. Windows Server 2025 will have extended support through 2034, so you can expect WSUS to be supported for at least that long.

We pushed a fix to PMPC Cloud for this issue this morning. The proper commandline looks to be: /msiTRANSFORMS=transformname.mst

Then upload the mst as an additional file.

Hi Bogdan,

That fact you stated, isn't straight forward to be honest.
Especially for JRE, it can become a big issue.
I'm aware that if someone installs JRE and then a JDK, chances are that the latter may do the association -and that may create a lot of confusion again-, is there a way to request for a change about the JRE?

Hi Antony,

I used this one as it was set in the 32-bit JRE "https://patchmypc.com/scupcatalog/downloads/scripts/PatchMyPC-Remove-JRE8-32bit-Only.ps1".
