Wondering if members have any experience and/or recommendations for Patch My PC. Looking for software to update multiple program installations in one go, something like Ninite.

Cheers.

Windows is the biggest updater and has a system to do it.
For the handful of other programs you run, most will check for updates automatically.
The only things that may not get an update are video drivers and BIOS.

It’s up to you whether you install a free (you are the product) app to update two or three things.

cheers, Paul

I use PatchMyPC regularly on 23 apps/programs. According to the program it covers patching for over 300 apps (not the 3-4 as stated by @Alex5723. It flags out of date programs and the user has the option of including them, or not, in the update process.

I’m not sure what you mean by “multiple program installations”. If you mean multiple programs on the same machine – that works fine. If you mean programs on multiple machines, it does have a IT Pro mode – I don’t use it but it is supposed to cover that scenario but you’d need to read into it to see if it does what you want.

There is none.
I have hundreds apps. Patch my PC recognizes 3-4 apps.
I use free portable SUMo just to check for new updates. I don’t let SUMo auto update. I check manually and update directly from developers sites.
None of my regular apps (on PC, Mobile) update automatically. All updates are done manually.
Exceptions : Browser, security apps…
