UpdateHub is an app that simplifies updating software on your computer. A user-friendly interface allows you to quickly check for and install available updates for your operating system and applications. Keep your device running smoothly and securely with UpdateHub.

What is it?

UpdateHub is a user-friendly application designed to streamline the software update process for your computer. With this app, you can quickly check for updates for all the software installed on your device, including operating systems and applications. The app's straightforward interface displays all available updates and lets you choose which ones to install, making the updating process quick and convenient.

Why is it important?

Outdated applications can bring unwanted security threats. Take, for example, Chrome. On April 21, 2023, Google Chrome faced multiple vulnerabilities. These included the following:

[21 April 2023] Google Chrome (Desktop) - Zero-Day Vulnerability

NIST: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-2033 Type confusion in V8 in Google Chrome before 112.0.5615.121 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

Google Blog: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2023/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_14.html Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2023-2033 exists in the wild.

To fix this, you had to update to the latest version. But Google Chrome may not tell you this; our app will.
You can also get new app features and bug fixes and keep your OS and some drivers up-to-date, potentially improving your system.
UpdateHub ensures that your device's software is up-to-date and secure, making updating as hassle-free as possible.

What features does it have?

The app also features a rollback function. This feature means you can quickly revert to the previous version if you don't like an update or updated by accident. Additionally, the app provides detailed information about each update, including release notes and version numbers, allowing you to stay informed about the changes and improvements made to your software.

What makes this unique or better than others?

UpdateHub doesn't just update apps. It can also update apps from the Microsoft Store and the whole operating system.
It's also better than most other similar applications like this too. Here's a comparison between our app and IObit's solution. Look at how many more updates our app detects than the others:

UpdateHub (Detected 23 updates)	IObit (Detected 4 updates)

In later updates, it will be able to keep your code dependencies up-to-date if you're a programmer and will allow you to keep custom files up-to-date with the specified source.

Is it safe?

Absolutely! All apps/software downloaded via this app are from trusted official sources. Windows Defender also scans them and verifies the security hash for every app downloaded to prevent unauthorized changes.

How much does it cost?

Completely free! If you like it, you can donate ❤️

System Requirements

• Windows 10 1809 (17763) 64-bit or later

You probably already have these, but in case you don't here

• WinGet v1.4.11071 or later

  PowerShell 5.1 or later

MacOS/Linux support?

Bug in App Update page won't let you update any apps

Issue name: App will ask for elevation even if already elevated

Description of issue:

A bug has been identified in the application update page, where it would not let you update any apps. It would ask you for elevation for apps that didn't need it, and once you restarted as administrator, it would still say the same error message.

Screenshots:

_{Discord does not require elevation to update}

When fix?

This bug will be fixed in version 1.1.0, which will release tomorrow (4/7/2023)

Anti-virus flagging the app?

Currently, the installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows or other anti-viruses might flag it as dangerous. This is not a virus, trust me. For proof, we will provide a virus scan on VirusTotal and the app's SHA-256 hash with each release.

Where is the source code?

This online magazine claims it's open-source, but the source seems to be out of this repo.

"Update available" button never shows

The "apps" tab does show available updates yet the "update available" button never shows, even after force closing like the readme says.
