Last post by Michael (Patch My PC) - August 04, 2025, 09:22:43 AMDid the update report any error for the installation code?
Do you have the 'Manage Conflicting Process' feature enabled to ensure that the process is being closed prior to the update running?

Last post by Export_User - August 04, 2025, 07:27:00 AMThe last update for Greenshot (v1.3.292 I believe) uninstalls itself, instead of upgrading it. This behaviour also occurred on my home pc, using the home updater.
It's possible that you've accidentally uninstalled every single installation of Greenshot globally, but hopefully that's not the case.

Home Updater: General Support and Troubleshooting / Updated to 5.3.0.0 and now can...

When I updated 5.2.3.0 to 5.3.0.0, I noticed that "Patch My ..." had been removed from the taskbar and that a shortcut was not on my Desktop. So I went to the Start Menu, found "Patch ...", right clicked it and expected to find an option to "Pin to Taskbar". It was not there. But under "More", I did find an option to "Open file Location" so I thought I might be able to create a shortcut or Pin to the Taskbar there. No ... there appears to be no way to do that.
I prefer to have applications I frequently use on the taskbar ... it makes computing so much easier.
I'm not sure this makes a difference, but I also use an application "Windhawk", which modifies Windows. One of the modifications I use allows more than one row of shortcuts to be placed on the taskbar as all previous versions of Windows allowed. I am a long time user of Windows, since Windows 95, and have used Computers since 1961 when I was a Math Major in University. See my attached partial ScreenShot of my modified Windows 11 Taskbar ...

Last post by gserviss - August 02, 2025, 08:06:34 AMJustin,
I used Revo to uninstall the application and cleaned up all the registry keys and files.
I installed version 5.3.0.0 as you suggested.
I do not see any change in the behavior of the program.
I created a zip using 5.3.0.0 and have attached it.

Yes, I created that zip by clicking on the button in the About page in the app.
I will try you suggestion to update to the later version.
I tried creating a new zip and have attached it to this message.

Home Updater: Report Bugs and Issues Not Related to Installing Apps / Re: Mp3tag link in "definition...
Last post by Justin Chalfant (Patch My PC) - August 01, 2025, 04:00:11 PMThanks for following up. The definitions file used in v5 isn't publicly accessible like it was in v4.
Since v5 is built differently, it pulls update definitions directly through the app, and we no longer expose that file over the web.

Last post by Justin Chalfant (Patch My PC) - August 01, 2025, 02:55:27 PMhttps://patchmypc.com/release-notes/production-release/home-updater-releases/#h-5-3-0-0-01-august-2025-preview-only
5.3.0.0 (01-August-2025) (Preview Only)
This preview release introduces support for multi-selection (checkboxes) in the List UI layout, several UI and behavior improvements, and important fixes related to the self-update scheduled task and app installations.
New Features
Added multi-selection support in the List UI layout for the applications catalog.
Improvements
Updated headers on the startup view.
Enhanced behavior for the self-update scheduled task:
Ensures only one instance of the app runs when triggered via scheduled task.
Automatically recreates the scheduled task if deleted.
Re-enables the task during next startup if the user disabled it manually.
Fixes
Resolved an issue where the app could hang if launched via the self-update scheduled task when no update was available.
Fixed an issue with installing Sumatra PDF in both UI and silent modes.
Let me know if you'd like this formatted for a production release or with any edits.

Last post by Justin Chalfant (Patch My PC) - August 01, 2025, 02:52:04 PMThanks for reporting this, we'll look into getting that download link updated
Just a heads up — it sounds like you're using the legacy v4 of Home Updater. I'd recommend upgrading to v5, as v4 will be deprecated soon and only v5 will be supported moving forward
You can download v5 here
