Home Updater: Report Detection Issues or Installation Issues / Re: Losing settings on multipl...

Last post by mariafite - January 15, 2026, 07:56:44 PM

I've just started using Home Updater (used PMP for years). The updates appear to have changed not just the software but associated settings (what would have been in the config files way back when and are now presumably hidden in the Registry).

After the first update run I noticed that:
- the file association for .au3 had changed (to run AutoIt; I had it associated with an editor)
- Chrome lost details of the open tabs (I had to recreate from history, and not even all in one block)
- Firefox lost details of the open tabs (fortunately it had a "restore recent window" option which I found)
- Zoom Workplace won't update (I don't care much about that actually)
- MS Powertoys won't update (I'll wait)

This was not a problem under older PMP. Can you fix it pronto? Because this is a killer for me: I want the apps software updated; I do not want to lose my set up.

I'm waiting to see what else I find.
On the other hand, the new interface is much better looking.

I think this isn't a bug you can "fix pronto" on your machine — it's how Home Updater works right now.
Home Updater performs in-place reinstalls for some apps, and those reinstalls can reset user-level state (file associations, running sessions, update channels, sometimes registry-backed settings). PMP was more conservative and usually did binary-only updates.

[(TL;DR)]

Home Updater: Report Detection Issues or Installation Issues / FanControl V253 updates are fa...

Last post by dking02 - January 15, 2026, 06:07:12 PM

(15-Jan-2026) Updates of FanControl to V253 have been failing since 12-Jan-2026 when V253 was apparently withdrawn by its developer and replaced with V254. Since the V253 update is no longer available for download, installs or updates of FanControl via Home Updater will continue to fail until the Home Updater App Library catalog is updated with the version and download file for release V254 (or later).
--
(TL;DR) I had noticed the V254 update listed on majorgeeks.com back on 12-Jan-2026 so I was suspicious when Home Updater wanted to update FanControl (portable and non-portable) to V253 later that day. While an update of the Home Updater App Library catalog would eventually resolve the problem, it appears that Home Updater is unable to effortlessly handle this type of failure situation in the interim, particularly for updates of portable editions of affected apps.
 
As shown in the posted screenshots, my installation of V252 of FanControl Portable is reported as "Outdated" in the My Apps tab. However, when I tried to update it to V253 as recommended, it kept displaying the progress as  "CALCULATING" indefinitely, requiring the attempted update to be manually cancelled. (This is different from the failed update of the non-portable app which will terminate as "FAILED" without user intervention.) I also noticed that the cached copy of the previously downloaded V252 .zip file for  FanControl Portable had been renamed with the "_Old" suffix and that the App Library tab displayed version "253" of FanControl Portable as "INSTALLED", even though the V253 update could not be downloaded and V252 remained the installed version.
 
To fix the failure of the non-portable update, I manually downloaded the V254 installer from the developer's  GitHub repository and installed the update. That resulted in the version of the non-portable installation being updated to "254" in My Apps after Home Updater rescanned the machine. That approach, however, is not possible for portable apps being managed by Home Updater. This left the My Apps tab displaying the correct installed status: portable ("252" and  "Outdated") and non-portable ("254" and "INSTALLED"), while the App Library tab confusingly displays both editions of FanControl as "253" and "INSTALLED". Note that the "253" being displayed here in the App Library tab is the actually the version of the app from the Home Updater App Library catalog , not the version of either the portable or non-portable edition of FanControl "INSTALLED" on the user machine.

Commercial/Paid Products: Support and General Questions (ConfigMgr and Intune) / Re: Mozilla Firefox x64 bg

Last post by Andrew Jimenez (Patch My PC) - January 15, 2026, 11:52:51 AM

Hello,

We've had a request for the bg version, but it does not have a ton of traction at the moment: https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-2585. I would recommend adding some votes to that idea, and then you can use custom apps to update until we get this product added to the catalog. I don't have a timeline for addition of this app to the catalog at the moment.

Commercial/Paid Products: Support and General Questions (ConfigMgr and Intune) / Mozilla Firefox x64 bg

Last post by shaun.silli - January 14, 2026, 07:18:03 PM

Hi PMPC Forum,

I'm trying to get all our version of Firefox patch with the latest version but notice there doesn't seem to be a Firefox x64 bg [Bulgarian] version available in the catalogue - should I raised a support ticket or make a custom app, or have that office switch to another version?

Thanks,

Looks like 4.8.0.88 was released on Dec 23, but I'm still not seeing it in the PMPC publisher.
