Advice Request Which Apps Updater do you use?

Please provide comments and solutions that are helpful to the author of this topic.
Tried Patch My PC, (again) it found 3 programs to update, two were redistributable that were the same as on but numbered differently & SM Player I already know about - Sumo detects 40 programs - Patch 18 programs, worth keeping as it uses little space.

I have Kerish Doctor which I like run each 2-3 months run to do a check on outdated apps. Does a pretty nice job. However, most of my softwares do check on startup if they need to update. Edge, potplayer, qbittorent and some more.

I started to use winget, it seems to include way more apps now. It is as simple as running:
Code: 
winget upgrade --all

It can be even used to automatically install all apps on the fresh install as long as you have exported them before.
Code: 
winget export -o D:\OneDrive\Setup\winget.txt
winget import -i D:\OneDrive\Setup\winget.txt
Code:

I used PatchMyPC till it broke and stopped updating apps properly. So I just use Softpedia's email notifications and downloads.
Click to expand...
Softpedia email notifications & SUMo free for me.
Softpedia updates are automatic (in notification :sneaky:) & SUMo is manual.
Both these cover every software on my PC. ;)

EDIT: SUMo is incompatible with kaspersky, Still i ignore Kaspersky recommendation for deletion.

@Kyle_Katarn

Your latest version (and previous versions) of SUMo has some issues identifying some programs

1) Portable Librewolf of mine is already 97.0.1 version but SUMo reports as 96.x.x
2) ExpressVPN is still at 10.17.0.28 but SUMo reports a newer version 10.19.0.7 available

Yuuuup. I just read about this somewhere else, and it seems awesome. Just create a script that calls "winget upgrade --all" (run as admin) and you're done. Updating couldn't be easier. How long has this been around?
Click to expand...

Code: 
@echo off
 
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command ". 'C:\SCRIPT.ps1'"
 
TIMEOUT /T 5

.bat file to call powershell

Code: 
winget upgrade --all

exit

.ps1 file referrenced in above .bat file. Just execute the bat and you're done!

@n8chavez I made a batch file with just one line.
Code: 
winget.exe upgrade --all
I named it winget.bat, so I had to change winget to winget.exe, otherwise it would just run my batch file again, rather than loading winget.exe.

But using this method the powershell execution policy can be a problem, based on users' settings. That's why I needed the two. Thanks though.

1) Please contact me (email : contact [AT] kcsoftwares.com or PM) for analysis
2) 10.19.0.7 is indeed current :-)
