Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud
The Configurations tab of the Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud deployment wizard allows you to configure various configuration settings (explained below) for how you want the app to be deployed.
This tab contains the following settings:
Disable Self-Updates
If an app supports built-in auto-updates, this option will be shown and enabled by default, disabling any auto-updates.
This option will not be displayed if the app does not support built-in auto-updates.
Remove Desktop Shortcut
If checked, will remove the desktop shortcut created as part of the app installation.
Allow Available Uninstall
If checked, allows Intune Apps to uninstall the app if the Company Portal installed it.
The installation of some apps cannot be completed if the app:
is currently running
uses a shared process that needs to be closed, but in doing so, could impact that process and other apps using it.
This setting lets you manage those conflicting processes (also known as "Conflicting Process"), and control what happens in such scenarios using one of the following options.
Perform the installation
Performs the installation regardless.
Auto-close conflicting application process before installation
Automatically closes the app/process causing the conflict to allow this app to be installed. IMPORTANT This can result in data loss so use with care.
Skip installation when conflicting processes are in use
The installation is skipped until the conflicting process is no longer in use.
Notify the user to close the application
The default option. The user sees a notification requesting they close the app that is preventing this install. NOTE If the user snoozes/defers the update, the installation returns as a failure and retries 24 hours later.
Allows you to configure the following Advanced Settings for Conflicting Processes.
How long in seconds (300 by default), before the notification timeouts.
Notification behavior if the application running and focus assist is enabled
How the notification behaves if the app is currently running and Focus Assist is enabled: o Discard the Notification (default) o Always show the notification o Show the notification if the deferred policy is reached
Do not allow user deferral
The user cannot defer the installation. The app will close and update when the timeout expires.
Allow the user to defer the installation
When an installation is postponed, Intune interprets the installation as a failure and automatically retries it 24 hours later.
Using this option, the user can defer the installation:
o Indefinitely – If selected, Intune will retry the installation forever, giving the user the option to postpone it every 24 hours.
o Up to X times - The user can postpone the installation the configured number of times with a 24-hour gap between retries. Intune will retry the installation every 24 hours until the user has no more deferrals. At this point the conflicting process will be closed and the update will be installed.
o First notification displayed – With this option, the user will get the first notification about the conflicting process after the number of days configured. However, even though Intune will retry the installation every 24 hours, the retries will be automatically postponed again until the number of configured days pass. Only then will the user get the conflicting process notification again.
Prevent the application from being opened while it is updating
Prevents the app from opening whilst it is being updated.
Clicking the Conflicting Process button lets you see any conflicting processes we have identified that will prevent an app from updating.
You can also add additional entries or remove existing entries to suit your environment.
Otherwise, click on the relevant tab under Tools to configure the required settings, which are explained in the relevant process.
Allows you to apply a of pre-configured settings to this deployment.
If you do not want to configure any of the optional tabs under the Tools section, click Next to move to the tab.
