Resume Updates

How to resume updates for an app in Patch My PC Cloud that’s been paused

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

If the Pause Updates feature of Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud has been configured for an app that has since been updated, and you want to bring the app up-to-date to the latest version, you need to disable pause updates.

Note

If an app has more than one version of an update available, resuming updates will ensure it is updated to the latest version.

Also, if you paused a deployment with Update Rings enabled, when you resume updates for that deployment, the Update Rings are re-enabled and function normally.

To resume updates for an app:

1. Click on the relevant deployment which has been paused.

   
2. Click the Pause Updates slider to disable it.

   

Note

Notice on the above screenshot that the Sync Now button is available, meaning one or more updates are available for this app.

1. Click the X to close the deployment properties page.

   

   The list of deployments is displayed without UPDATES PAUSED under the deployment you just unpaused.

   

Updates for this app are now resumed.

You now need to decide how you want to install any updates for this app:

• Install the updates now – If you want to install the updates as soon as possible, follow the Sync Now process.

• Wait for the nightly sync to run – If you are happy to wait for the updates to be installed the next time the daily sync runs (at 2 am by default), you do not need to do anything.

Note

You can change the Sync Schedule to a different time, as detailed in the Managing the Sync Schedule process.
