Ninite is a free tool that automatically downloads, installs, and updates various Windows programs for you, skipping past the evil toolbar offers. For Windows users, Ninite is arguably the only really safe place to get freeware.

This application is far more than a tool for tech support people to easily set up PCs. It’s a place you can get safe Windows freeware without trawling the usual download sites full of harmful garbage.

The only negative about it for me is that it cannot update the libreoffice installations.
It uninstalls the old version but are not able to install the new.
After this you cannot even install libreoffice by hand, it gets stuck in the middle of the installation.
You have to clean out your registry first, reboot and then install again.
Happened on 3 installs now...

If anyone didn't know about Ninite, download apps without the crapware.

It works on Windows 10. It’s free for consumers to use and is the best way to install or reinstall your favorite free and Open Source programs without the bloatware like toolbars and other special offers.

Yeah, that's a problem, and not a small one. Hope they fix that soon.
Thanks for the heads up on that.

I use Ninite and PatchMyPC. I also know about sumo but looks like it only download the updates exe files not automatically do everything. Is there anything else that can update/install multiple apps at once?

Bare in mind I posted this more then 2 years ago!
