Windows update managemetn tool for windows 10

WuMgr

Overview

WuMgr (Update Manager for Windows) is a tool to manage updates of Microsoft products on the Windows operating system. It uses the "Windows Update Agent API" to identify as well as download and install missing updates. It allows the user fine control of updates on modern (Windows 10) operating system versions, comparable to what windows 7 and 8.1 offered.

This tool is inspired by the Windows Update Mini Tool (WUMT), however in comparison to WUMT it is written in pure .NET instead of C/C++, and it is open source.

If an article KB is non deletable, you do get a warning message but the software starts scanning

View KB article webpage ability

It'd be nice to have an update in the update list have the option to view the associated KB article if one exists.

e.g. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4467702

Maybe through a context menu or sidebar button?
It would be cool if it simply used a web-browser viewport.

Update translation, pls

I've added Russian translation as I can. Merge it with ur project. Thx for tool.

Hello,

How do I install this? Does this need a web server?

Sorting issues - date column

Hi

There is problem with sorting installed updates by date column - it should use year, then month and day, but it sorts by numbers in "date" string - if the first is day, than use it as main sort key.

Add "Search for Updates on Launch" Option

Please consider adding an option that allows for an automatic search for updates on the launch of wumgr.

Another option for closing off wumgr if no pending updates are found would be useful too.

Windows Store version is critically out-of-date

I first learned of the existence of WuMgr by finding it on the Windows Store, but whether this version is official or not, it has a number of issues.

The first issue is that it cannot be installed on non-64-bit systems through the Windows store. The second issue with the Windows Store version is that it is an extremely old build (with no way to update it manually because of the nature of Windows Store apps), and the third (and perhaps most critical) issue is that telling that particular build of the program to run in the background causes it to repeatedly crash, and I cannot for the life of me seem to find any way to fix it.

Installer-based version

While portable programs are always very helpful to have, this program needs to have an option within it to execute an installation. Having a version that is installed on your system could enable the following benefits:

1. It could store its settings in the Windows Registry for all users.
2. It could run as a background service/driver without constantly setting off User Account Control.
3. You could automatically download and install updates for the program itself.
4. It could install a version of the executable which is pre-configured and optimized for your version of Windows (including ARM, x86 and x64), improving system stability and ease of use.
5. It could add an option to the Windows Control Panel to open your update manager settings.

ENHANCEMENT: Select remote computers

A nice enhancement would be a command line switch and GUI option to connect to another computer and run wumgr against it.

Internal Error

Much like Michal Bieljewski: #44

I get the internal error whenever I search for updates with WUMGR 0.9a, you can see the error code in this screenshot:

I can try checking again and also close WUMGR and get the same error message, but, there is a different error code every time. What could the cause be?

Where to download ?

Where can I find WuMgr ? I can't find any "original" location where to download the executable / portable WuMgr.
And also where is the archive of those (older) exe's ?

Window position, size, column sizes, not saved or restored

Window position, size, column sizes, not saved or restored

I prefer to see window position, size, and column sizes, restored to what I set them to, rather than a hardcoded default.

How can I undo it?

I've tested it on my business-PC and since i runned the wumgr.exe my windows update settings are changed via GPO and I'm taking part in the windows insider program.

How can i undo these changes?

Unavailable settings (greyed out)

Hi

First big thanks for Your work for creating and maintaining this great utility (I'm former WUMT user since W10 1703).

Small question about Auto Update setting. I installed wumgr by unzipping then I choose to autostart with admin rights, but I found out that some setting are unavailable (greyed) - picture below

https://i.imgur.com/7T315jt.png

What I did wrong?

PS: I'm on W10 1803 Home

Add Command-Line version

Adding the capability to operate the program through Command Line could make the program more accessible to users without a working mouse and/or are experiencing issues with the Windows GUI (or the WuMgr GUI), and greatly increase flexibility for users who rely on PowerShell/Bash scripts and Windows Batch files.

Additionally, a well-built command-line program is always satisfying to use.

Automatically install all Visual C++ Runtimes and latest .NET framework

The fact that Windows does not automatically do this can lead to a lot of issues where programs fail to run/install correctly, and it is increasingly difficult to track down all of the different versions of the Visual C++ runtimes that you need.

Since this is somewhat related, this program should be compiled with the .NET Core runtimes if it's not already.
