PatchPilot 0.9.3 — Windows update completion fix

PatchPilot v0.9.3 fixes the Windows update approval-window hang.

• Closing the completed or canceled Windows update review now ends its worker process, releases the update lock and restores the main window controls.
• An active Windows update still blocks closing until the current update finishes. Choose Done or Close in the separate review window afterward.
• Includes v0.9.2's optional desktop shortcut and minimize-to-tray settings.

Upgrade: close PatchPilot and run the Setup EXE over your existing installation. Preferences, history and existing activation files are retained. If an older build is stuck after completion, end PatchPilot in Task Manager first (administrator access may be needed for its elevated worker). Do not end Windows servicing processes.

Downloads:

• Setup.exe: recommended Windows installer.
• Customer-Download.zip: installer plus installation and activation instructions; also supplied on Gumroad.
• Portable.zip: unpack and run without installing.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: file integrity checksums. GitHub's source-code archives contain this public documentation repository, not the private application source.

Verification: 67 xUnit tests, 103 core/provider/overview/maintenance checks, 11 isolated installer checks and one new WPF lifecycle regression check passed. The original hang was reproduced independently. Tests did not install any real Windows updates.

Windows 10 22H2 / Windows 11, x64. Unsigned early-access release; Windows SmartScreen may warn. Checksums establish integrity, not publisher identity. Free checks remain free; optional Full access is $1.99/month for one PC with up to seven days offline access after a successful check, capped by a known membership end.
