The downfall to the work done with SCUP up to now is that the out of the box catalogs that Microsoft give you access to are subject to that provided to Microsoft by the software vendors. Patch My PC thus does exactly what it claims, and does it well: considering how easy it is to get started, there's virtually no reason to not consider getting your computer up to speed with the latest updates, which this program can so effortlessly provide.If you read my two previous posts, Preparing Certificates and GPOs for System Center Update Publisher and Setting Up System Center Update Publisher, you will have already a working SCUP installation and integration with Configuration Manager and you will have the certificates and Group Policy Object settings in place for your clients to trust the updates distributed by SCUP. The introduction of a scheduler is also a most welcome addition to what the program offers: schedule when you want the software to look for updates: every day, every few days, and so on. The utility also features an uninstaller function that allows users to uninstall multiple apps on their system with only a few inputs. The latest versions will be downloaded, right from the developer's websites, so the process is both hassle-free and safe. We could install browsers, multimedia tools, file archivers, hardware tools, and many other such software from there. It's worth noting that, through the Apps list, various new programs can be installed on your system. When possible, they will be silently installed, which requires no input from the user. The programs that require updates are marked with red text, and the utility automatically fetches them for installing. Right upon booting it up, the interface is a functional, simple one, where a lengthy list of programs is presented to the user. A functional piece of softwareĪt its core, the app is quite simple: it scans your computer to find the apps you have installed, and it then checks the software's websites to look for updates. As its name suggests, Patch My PC is a utility that can help you stay on top of constant software updates with little effort. As such, using dedicated software to do that for you would be all the more convenient. With so many programs, however, it can get tiring to keep track of all the updates and version changes.

The developers of those programs might update their software more or less frequently than others, and it's important to stay on top of it by having the latest available versions.

As you use your computer, it's only natural to accumulate countless programs on your drive.
