Home Updater: General Support and Troubleshooting / Re: Silent Install
Last post by Justin Chalfant (Patch My PC) - May 04, 2025, 04:58:20 PMPlease try to upgrade to 5.2.0.1, which was released a few hours ago. That should hopefully resolve this for you.

Home Updater: General Support and Troubleshooting / Re: Silent Install
Last post by tennisace57 - May 03, 2025, 07:48:17 PMTerry - I was thinking the same thing. Given that it's not working on either of my PCs, it definitely points to the Patch My PC as the issue.
For now, and maybe going forward, I will use it with "Settings > Silently install and update applications" disabled, which maybe the better option. That's the approach I take with my phone - I get update notifications with automatic updates disabled. It would be nice if Patch My PC added an option to get update notifications.
Hopefully this issue will be resolved sometime soon.

I hope the fix that applies to you resolves my issue. What i can't understand if you are correct in your "conclusion" is why more people aren't reporting this?

Yes, we are both experiencing the same issue albeit, we haven't exactly explained it the same way.
But like you, I was a long time user of the legacy portable version and never experienced any issues.
I bought a new desktop on 04/02/2025 and when I visited the Patch My PC site to download the application, I found that there was a new version 5.
I installed it with the default settings and scheduled it to check and update every evening in the background. I also updated Patch My PC on an older laptop. After several days, I launched Patch My PC only to find that several applications were outdated.
The log files indicated that Patch My PC attempted to update the applications, but failed with errors.
When I initiate the updates in the GUI, the applications successfully update.
Conclusion: The scheduled silent (i.e.,automatic) application update functionality doesn't work in Patch My PC version 5.

Thanks for that. There certainly seems to be some commonality between our circumstances. I am new to this forum so I don't know the ropes or too many people. But, as I said in my introduction ever since I changed from portable to installed it hasn't worked it just took me a long time to find out.
I have looked at other options but there is nothing as good as PMPC when it works. Hopefully we will get a resolution. Let's keep in touch.
Thank you
Terry
