Home Updater: General Discussions, Questions and Updates / Re: Changes to App Library

Last post by dking02 - July 25, 2026, 11:53:42 PM

A third and final drop of changes to the Home Updater App Library took place o/a Monday 20-Jul-2026, increasing the app count from 556 (a/o 4-Jul-2026) to 570. A list of recent changes to the App Library was also added to the Home Updater Release Notes at that time (ref. entry for v5.4.5.0).

Attached is an update to my previous PDF with additional detail on these changes (x64 only). Note that I did not track changes for ARM apps since ARM indicators are only available on ARM-based devices. On an x64 device, the isARM field is not available in app views or filter or export dialogs of Home Updater and the value of the field is set to FALSE for every app when exporting an app list.

I'm sorry @Adam Cook (Patch My PC) I need to revive this question and clarify something.

The script at https://content.patchmypc.com/downloads/scripts/Uninstall-Software.ps1 (which is what my Snagit installer points to as a pre-script) appears to be different than the one here: https://github.com/PatchMyPCTeam/Community-Scripts/blob/main/Uninstall/Pre-Uninstall/Uninstall-Software/Uninstall-Software.ps1

It looks like the script on Github would work the way you describe, but the one provided by PMPC in the Snagit app would not? I've attached screen shots of each.

Thanks!

I just ran a diff between the two files, and aside from the comment based help and digital signature, these are the only two differences. It is otherwise identical in the main body so they function the same.

The "web page" source for updates is not helpful. A better source is the Zoom Download Center: https://zoom.us/download

Hi @jmoock, I asked our application catalog team, and they informed me that we attempted to add a logging switch at a customer's request. Unfortunately, the VMware Tools installer exhibited some unexpected behavior. After several unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue, we reverted to the original, stable configuration.

I use PatchMyPC alongside winget. Winget has been offering version 5.4.5.0 since at least July 8th (I believe for several days longer). Isn't it true that their repository is updated by the software publishers themselves? If so, pushing beta versions is not desirable. If not, how can the publishing of beta versions in winget be prevented?

Commercial/Paid Products: Support and General Questions (ConfigMgr and Intune) / VMware Tools 13.1.0 revisions

Last post by jmoock - July 15, 2026, 07:15:44 AM

Where can we see the details of the recent changes made to the VMware Tools 13.1.0 package (rev 1/2/3)?  These do not appear to be new releases from Broadcom, so I assume something specific to PmPC is being changed.  I have looked at the Catalog Changelog (which includes no reference to these) and the Catalog History (which only includes links to Broadcom).

Thanks

Thanks for reporting this, we will be sure to get released notes up a bit quicker in the future for beta builds as well.

UPDATE: Release notes for PMPC Home Updater 5.4.5.0 were posted on the PMPC website on 09-July-2026 with the following clarification: "This release is already self-updating for users on the beta channel and will be available for self-update for non-beta users in the coming days."

Like MajorGeeks, 5.4.5.0 was also prematurely released on Softpedia on Wednesday, 08-July-2026. I also noted that the Home Updater download on Softpedia is erroneously classified as TRIAL rather than FREEWARE.
