What is it?

AutoPatcher QMUP (Quick Monthly Update Packs, pronounced as "queue 'em up") fills in the gap between AutoPatcher and Windows Update. QMUP releases are really what the name suggests.

- Quick

Being based on a lightweight version of AutoPatcher, it loads in no time. And since it only includes one month worth of (critical) updates, it's a quick way of getting your monthly dose of patches. :p

- Monthly

QMUP releases will only include the month's critical updates. In contrast to current AutoPatcher releases, QMUP is not cumulative, meaning each QMUP release will provide patches for one month only. Example: If you're system was last updated on April, you would need May and June QMUP releases, preferably installed in order (forming a queue -- how was QMUP pronounced again?).

- Update

QMUP will only include critical updates. No add-ons (windows media player or the like), no 3rd-party apps, no registry tweaks.

- Pack

QMUP will combine all of the month's patches into one file. You get that file and you're good to go for that month, installing it on as many computers as you like (remember, portable!).

What's the difference between QMUP and the current Update releases?

Basically, the current update releases require a previous AutoPatcher Full/Lite (last month's). QMUPs can work on their own. This means that you don't have to install it over a previous AutoPatcher and then re-run it just to install the new updates.

By the way, the numbers you see in the screenies are just fictional... for testing... They are not 37 real june 2006 patches :p

Please comment :)

Will there be an option to select which updates to install?? (is WGA a critical update and do we get a choice?)

QMUPs will not offer selection, for the sake of being easy. Since it just packs critical updates it would be of little use anyway. If, however, people still want that feature for the QMUPs, I'll do my best to squeeze it in (maybe as "advanced" mode or something).

WGA-related stuff are not considered to be critical, therefore not included (actually, it's not even in the Full AutoPatcher).

So I guess the answer is "no" to both questions.

Hi Guys,

Far be it from me to criticize however if you have time to "spare" for work on a new version of AP, then could we not see some further beta's of AP 6.x?

I believe that some folks (such as myself) have been waiting to see what this new version might offer, especially extending AP into area such as Office updates and similar.

Is AP v6 still in development or has it been delayed / postponed or cancelled?

Kind Regards

Simon

v6 It's still more or less under developement. Actually QMUP uses the v6 engine :)

What v6 needs right now:

1. Logging

2. Mouse wheel support in the main selection list. This one is going to be a hard one to do...

3. General perfomance tweaks...

@robin145, if youve previously used autopatcher or another method to update your computer, you can use this to quickly install the june updates. it is an alternative to keeping a full copy of autopatcher and updating it with update releases. these are standalone products containing one monthly updates.

This is cool!!!! but I found there is only AutoPatcher XP June, what about May???? Or it includes ??????

No, a QMUP release can be thought of as a stand-alone autopatcher for just one month's critical updates. With that said, the June QMUP doesn't include May patches.

QMUPs as an idea is about 4 days old, so we worked to make June packs.

Ok releases for XP, 2003 and 2000 are available for download now...

Please install and feedback any issues.

Does this include feedback on your download mirror? I got hammered with pop-ups and pop-unders from the following adservers:

popunder.adsrevenue.net

ads.clicksor.com

I had previously disabled my pop-up blocker because it was interfering with some legitimate pop-ups on some websites (viewing product images on the website of a computer component manufacturer), and forgot to enable it again.

When I clicked on your link, I nearly had to perform a three finger salute to stop the furious non-stop barrage of pop-ups.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99.
