Commercial/Paid Products: Support and General Questions (ConfigMgr and Intune) / Re: Oracle Java 8 - Possible t...
Last post by Support Team (Patch My PC) - April 28, 2025, 11:48:47 AMNo additional controls are added for the updates. They will function as most other updates in the Patch My PC catalog.
Your management of the update will depend on how you deploy the update and which interface you are using to deploy the update (Cloud or Publisher; Intune, ConfigMgr or WSUS). Most of consideration will be in how you deploy the updates, which if using WSUS is going to be through ADRs. For Apps, you can choose to create a new ConfigMgr app with each update. In cloud, you can use deployment rings or just create the apps without assignments.
Another option would be:
Pause Updates: https://patchmypc.com/custom-options-available-for-third-party-updates-and-applications#pause-product-updates
Regardless, we'd be happy to help with your specific scenario, I would recommend opening a support case here and we can work with you for an optimal solution: https://patchmypc.com/technical-support

Last post by GeoSimos - April 28, 2025, 08:05:15 AMHello,
I would like some more information about this breaking change for Oracle Java Runtime please, what controls are introduced for the updating and how can we prevent it for happening?
We use both applications creation and updates from PMPC but we have departments that need to stay on a specific runtime version due to vendor application compatibility.
Thank you!

Last post by Justin Chalfant (Patch My PC) - April 28, 2025, 07:10:37 AMGlad it's working quicker, we didn't make any specific changes around scan speed, but we did add some code to better handle access denied on specific RegKey's that may be contributing to improved speed.

Last post by Daily Driver - April 28, 2025, 03:57:41 AMNoticing that the new version (v5.2.0.0) loads much faster thankfully...
So the previous load-delay was not on the user's end then?

Home Updater: General Support and Troubleshooting / Re: How to prevent self update...
Last post by Justin Chalfant (Patch My PC) - April 27, 2025, 01:00:06 PMHi @makemyday,
Thanks again for your feedback!
We have created a feature request you can vote on for retaining the installation location during upgrades. You can find it here:
https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-6126
We believe this should be a fairly straightforward change and are aiming to include it in the next version of the installer.
We're also reviewing the behavior around the Scheduled Task. We are currently tracking an issue where the task gets recreated or overwritten each time the app starts, which seems to be contributing to it being re-enabled after a manual install. We'll be taking a closer look at that as well.

Home Updater: General Support and Troubleshooting / Re: How to prevent self update...
Last post by makemyday - April 27, 2025, 10:23:03 AMI have to pick up the topic again...
I just found a desktop icon for Home Updater on my desktop and was very suprised.
What happened: after installing the latest version some weeks ago, I deactivated the Windows Scheduled Task for the self update of HU
some days ago I installed a new version of HU manually but did not check the Windows Scheduled Task...
Today HU self updated because the Windows Scheduled Task was activated by the manual install some days ago!
So now additionally I have to check the Windows Scheduled Task every time I manually install HU (whenever I want and whereever I want)
By the way: I installed HU not in the standard directory, but the self update used the standard directory on C:
That's not funny
Please let the user decide if he wants self update (and where the program is installed)...
