Home Updater: General Discussions, Questions and Updates / Re: Windows Notifications Disa...
Last post by Black Tiger - October 22, 2025, 04:34:49 PMI'm sorry.
I just found the place to disable this.
One would expect this to be under the settings tab, but it's under the "Schedular" tab.
"Schedule to Check and Notify for Outdated Applications" which is done every 2,5 hours and this must have been automatically enabled because I for sure did not.
I now disabled this check and hope the notifications are gone after that.
A notification system is not a bad thing, but it causes issues when displaying above anything which is running at the moment, even work, forums or games. So maybe as suggestion it can be programmed to not pop over everything?

Home Updater: General Discussions, Questions and Updates / Re: Windows Notifications Disa...
Last post by Black Tiger - October 22, 2025, 04:25:41 PMQuote from: Justin Chalfant (Patch My PC) on July 03, 2025, 09:35:40 AMOn the notification popup you saw, I'm not sure what that might be. Patch My PC Home Updater shouldn't trigger any native Windows notifications, especially when running as a scheduled task silently. If you're able to grab a screenshot or note the exact message, we'd love to dig deeper.
Sorry to bump this thread, but I'm having the same issue and it's very very annoying.
I don't have any scheduled tasks. I just have installed Patch My PC at least 7 years ago (also installed on my new pc in 2022) and updated it regularly.
But since a short time (maybe last update) I also get a popup which says that there are X programs which can be updated. This is very disturbing as it also gets visible for example during some games and also when typing on a forum like this, suddenly the popup is there again, notifying that there are programs which need updating.
As I'm sure this is fine for some people, I personally don't like being disturbed by these update notices during my work or gameplay. I check regularly myself if there are application updates which can be done.
In the settings, really -every- setting is turned off, except the setting to automically close the application being updated to avoid files being in use.
I very much like Patch My PC, but I don't know why or since when this notification Windows was build in and I'm looking for a way to disable this.

Home Updater: Report Detection Issues or Installation Issues / Re: All my apps are upto date ...
Last post by Charley000 - October 22, 2025, 03:03:48 PMYes the app was up to date. Also I do have the option set to kill the app before updating. Home Updater would not update it. So I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it. After that Home Updater showed it was up to date.
This is not the first time I have had Home Updater (and Patch My PC before that) say an app needed updating when it was already up to date.

Home Updater: Report Detection Issues or Installation Issues / Re: All my apps are upto date ...
Last post by Omar (Patch My PC) - October 21, 2025, 03:24:10 PMI was talking about the version of Logi Options+ itself, are you sure it's up to date?
I just tried it and it works fine! PMPC might fail to update it if it's working on the background and you are not enabling the option to kill the app before updating.

Last post by Charley000 - October 21, 2025, 10:16:59 AMYes I am on the latest update. V5.3.2.0
And at least now for this one app even when I tell Home Updater to update it, it still shows it is not up to date.

Home Updater: Report Detection Issues or Installation Issues / Re: All my apps are upto date ...
Last post by Charley000 - October 20, 2025, 02:01:55 PMI went ahead and allowed Patch My PC Home Updater to update the apps even though they were already up to date.
Most of them then stopped showing in Home Updater.
Here is one that still shows. It is already at the current version.
Screen Shot attached.
