Pause Updates to a Patch My PC Cloud Deployment

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

The Pause Updates feature (which is disabled by default) of Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud allows you to prevent an app that’s previously been successfully deployed from being updated whenever a new version is released.

Important

Pausing updates for an app only affects our portal. If a new version of an app becomes available and updates are paused, the portal won’t create a new version of that app while updates are paused.

However, any existing versions of apps already in Intune that are assigned will still be evaluated and, if applicable, installed by your devices.

To Pause Updates for an app:

1. Click on the relevant successful deployment you want to pause for updates.

Tip

Click the filter button () and select the Disabled option under the Updates section, followed by Apply Filters to see just those deployments that do not have updates paused.

1. Click the Pause Updates slider to enable it.

   

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

   

   The list of deployments is displayed and UPDATES PAUSED shows under the deployment name so you updates are paused for this specific deployment.

   

Note

If Pause Updates is enabled for a Deployment, you can still manually sync it at any time to check for and publish a newer version, if one is available. See the Sync Now process for more details.

Also, if your deployment has Update Rings enabled and you experience a problem with any of the rings, Pause Updates prevents both an existing ring from being upgraded to a new version and any additional Update Rings from being created provided the Immediate option was set for the rings.

The Pause Updates option will be unavailable if your deployment uses Delayed rings and some of these rings have yet to update. As a workaround, you can delete the deployment to stop any outstanding updates.
