# Management Options section of Manage Conflicting Processes in Patch My PC Publisher
*Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher V3.x*\
*Available at level: All Custom Products, All Products, Vendor, Product*\
*Available on tab: WSUS Updates, ConfigMgr Apps, Intune Apps, Intune Updates*
The **Management Options** section allows you to control which running processes are evaluated for conflicting process management and configure the notification branding.
## Manage process list
The process list defines the executable names that are checked when determining whether an application is in use during an update.
The default process list is populated automatically based on the processes defined in the Patch My PC catalog for the selected product. These defaults represent the processes that are known to prevent the application from updating successfully while running.
You can add additional process names if your environment uses processes that should also be considered conflicting. You can also remove processes if required, although this is generally not recommended unless you are certain the process does not interfere with updates.
Use the process list to define which running executables are treated as conflicting during update installation.
1. Select **Manage process list** from the [Management Options](#management-options) section.
2. Review the default processes shown. These are populated automatically from the Patch My PC catalog.
3. Select the **plus** icon to add an additional process name if needed.
4. Select an existing process and choose the **minus** icon to remove it if appropriate.
5. Select **Reset** to restore the list to the default processes defined in the Patch My PC catalog.
6. Select **OK** to save changes or **Cancel** to discard them.
## Manage default settings
Click this button to open the **Conflicting Process UI Settings** window to customize the end user notification experience shown when an application must be closed to complete an update.
For detailed configuration steps and examples, see [Conflicting Process UI Settings](/patch-my-pc-publisher/customizations/list-customizations/manage-conflicting-processes/conflicting-process-ui-settings-window.md).

## 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-publisher/customizations/list-customizations/manage-conflicting-processes/management-options.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
