UniGetUI Version

2026.1.10

Windows version, edition, and architecture

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 21H2 19044.7291

Describe your issue

By default, updates for UnitGet Portable are automatically installed as an installable version. This cannot be disabled because the configuration settings are stored in %LocalAppData% on new machines. This is annoying.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Launch the portable version for the first time on a new machine.
  2. Install or update some packages.
  3. UniGetUI notifies you that the update is ready for installation.
  4. Close it, and the installation starts automatically, but as an installable version.
