Last post by RVST - May 02, 2025, 11:15:37 AMPatchMyPC is set to automatically update apps at 05:00 AM once every day. It is also set to run whether on not logged in and to run ASAP when missed.
However, I noticed that it wasn't automatically updating apps. If I manually clicked the button to update apps, it worked as expected.
Below is the error log where is failed to automatically install LibreOffice today.

Last post by Liviu (Patch My PC) - May 02, 2025, 12:46:00 AMHello everyone,
To achieve what mconwell is aiming for, use settings in the PMPC Publisher console:
1. In ConfigMgr Apps → Options, enable Update existing application's metadata, deployment type, detection method, and content files.
2. Also, activate Delay in-place application upgrade by X days. (Note: This applies to all ConfigMgr Apps published with our product; currently, individual overrides aren't possible. Upvote this UserVoice idea if you'd like that feature.)
3. With this delay, ConfigMgr apps will update X days later, impacting your TS accordingly.
4. Ensure the same software in your TS is selected on the Updates tab. Use a separate ADR to deploy updates to a test collection as soon as a new version is available. Running ADR frequently allows testing before the in-place ConfigMgr app update occurs.
Hope this helps!

Last post by steadybird - May 01, 2025, 05:36:32 PMCheers mate. May I ask what the rationale for having different levels of voting is?
I can't think of a time I'd ever do anything less than 3!

Last post by iamr00t - May 01, 2025, 12:27:55 PMBump. I was sort of hoping there would have been more traction on this. We should expect apps to stay updated in task sequences if we have it configured, right? I am not seeing this in our environment. I just opened a ticket about this, either way.

Last post by Michiel (Patch My PC) - May 01, 2025, 09:08:43 AMHi @zapulver, an app installation that was skipped will be retried during the next Intune Management Extension re-evaluation cycle, which is typically after 24 hours. The same is true if an end user defers (postpones) the installation.

Commercial/Paid Products: Support and General Questions (ConfigMgr and Intune) / Re: Delta Downloads?
Last post by Raunak Desai (Patch My PC) - May 01, 2025, 02:29:56 AMHey Klusa,
Thank you for reaching out.
�As of May 2025, the issue with third-party updates failing to download in Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) when "Allow clients to download delta content when available" is enabled remains unresolved.
Patch My PC has confirmed that enabling delta downloads can cause third-party updates to fail with error code 0x80d02002. The root cause is that delta content is not applicable to third-party updates, leading to download failures when this setting is enabled .
From Microsoft,there is no indication that the specific problem with third-party updates has been addressed. For now, Keep Delta Downloads Disabled: Continue using the workaround of disabling "Allow clients to download delta content when available" in client settings to ensure successful deployment of third-party updates.
I will check more internally if I can find more information around this.
Regards,
Raunak

Home Updater: Report Detection Issues or Installation Issues / Importing portable apps from a...
Last post by dking02 - April 30, 2025, 04:26:47 PMI have noticed a problem importing portable apps from an exported (or imported) apps list. The portable app can be successfully installed using the app list but then cannot be uninstalled from the My Apps view via its context menu there. It can only be uninstalled within Home Updater from the Uninstaller tab. Both methods for uninstalling apps should be supported. This issue only seems to affect portable apps, not non-portable apps.
I also observed inconsistent auto-refreshing of My Apps and Uninstaller views in the above situation. When a new app is installed or uninstalled, the My Apps and Uninstaller views should be auto-refreshed to reflect the addition or deletion of the affected app in those views. Instead, a manual re-scan in the My Apps view or manual refresh in the Uninstaller view may be required to update the affected display. Failure to update a view can be a source of considerable confusion if the user is unaware of the problem.
The following example shows how to replicate the problem.
Export an app list template containing only a single new portable app (AllDup Portable in this example) from Settings::Templates.
Now use the app list to install AllDup Portable. The AllDupPortable .zip file should be successfully downloaded.
Go to the MyApps view where AllDup Portable should now be listed as installed. Try to uninstall the app from its context menu. The app will not uninstall and its entry will remain in the My Apps view. At this point, an ERROR about AllDup Portable not found in the registry will be logged (see excerpt from log file below).
To successfully uninstall the app, go to the Uninstaller tab and uninstall it from there. (Alternatively, drag the AllDupPortable .zip file from the portables location folder and then perform a rescan from the My Apps view or exit and restart the Home Updater app.)
