# Configure Built-in Auto Updates in a Patch My PC Cloud Deployment

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

If an app supports built-in auto-updates, the **Built-in Auto Updates** tool will be available in the Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud deployment wizard, but the **Disable Self-Update** checkbox will be selected by default, disabling any auto-updates.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

Although some apps may have built-in auto-updates, they may not support controlling updates by using this or a registry value. In such a scenario, this option will be unavailable.
{% endhint %}

To manage the settings for the **Built-in Auto Updates** tool:

1. Click the **Built-in Auto Updates** tool.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/deployments/deploy-app/configurations-tab/standard-tools/built-in-auto-updates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
