Last post by iamr00t - November 19, 2025, 02:58:26 PM

I follow zero-day vulnerabilities for our supported browsers, and know that 142.0.7444.175/6 was released 2 days ago (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2025/11/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_17.html), but I have not seen it appear on our ConfigMgr nor Intune portals as apps nor updates. Just checking on this, and what is the normal turnaround for these, or is there an issue I need to look for with my publisher?

yes, it does. I have JUST downloaded them form the official page https://learn.microsoft.com/es-es/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-supported-redistributable-version

and IT IS CALLED VC14++ NOW. and PMPC was aking for it, but once I installed it, it just disappeared from the list of programs.

I also had a fail on Inkscape and did it manually. Same symptoms as OP.
I assume I had 64 bit originally as I have no reason to change it.

Home Updater: Report Detection Issues or Installation Issues / Losing settings on multiple ap...

Last post by duncanpt - November 18, 2025, 10:15:11 AM

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.

Thanks for the reply. Regarding 32-bit vs. 64-bit, I'm not sure about having the 32-bit version installed before (I think I had 64-bit), but (!) turns out it's reproducible.

Step 0: Remove Inkscape 1.4.2 ("uninstall" button in appwiz.cpl)

Step 1: Install Inkscape 1.4 (64-bit) from https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.4/windows/64-bit/exe/dl/
(inkscape-1.4_2024-10-11_86a8ad7-x64.exe)

Step 2: Install Inkscape 1.4.2 from https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.4.2/windows/64-bit/msi/dl/ (inkscape-1.4.2_2025-05-08_ebf0e94-x64.msi)

Looking at the installer extension (.msi vs. .exe), that may be the cause? In both cases I selected the default installer provided by inkscape.org.

Last post by Michael (Patch My PC) - November 14, 2025, 01:20:15 PM

Yeah, that seems to be the default behavior for the installer.

if you use that pre-script I mentioned, you can do something like the below for the parameters:

-DisplayName \"R for Windows*\" -VersionLessThan \"%Version%\" -UninstallAll

This will search for all 'R for windows*' installs. And the Version will dynamically change to the current version of the latest update and remove any LessThan.

I'll double check, but I'm pretty sure this is expected behavior by the vendor. Kinda like Python where you may want multiple versions to run specific items.

If you do want to remove pervious versions, you can add our 'Uninstall-Software.ps1' script as a Pre-Script to remove them: https://github.com/PatchMyPCTeam/Community-Scripts/tree/main/Uninstall/Pre-Uninstall/Uninstall-Software

Last post by KLUSA - November 14, 2025, 10:43:02 AM

"Windows for R" was recently updated to version 4.5.2, but it left behind version 4.5.1. So now there are two versions of R installed.

Is it possible to make future updates remove older updates?
