SysManager 1.17.4
[1.17.4] - 2026-06-03
Fixed
- Windows Update install never applied updates — install command sent KB numbers prefixed with
KB(e.g.KB5034441) to PSWindowsUpdate's-KBArticleIDparameter, which expects bare digits; the cmdlet matched zero updates and exited silently. Updates without a KB (Defender Definitions, drivers) and updates with multiple KBs were also excluded by the selection filter. The status bar reported a fabricated "Installed N update(s)" message based on the selection count rather than the cmdlet's actual result. - Honest install reporting — Install-WindowsUpdate output is now captured and parsed; the status bar shows real counts (
Installed X/Y. Failed: Z. Not applied: W.) and each row's Status column reflects per-update outcome (Installed,Failed,Not applied).
Changed
- Unified update list — "List updates" now returns Standard, Feature upgrades, and Hidden updates in a single grouped table; the separate "Feature upgrades" button has been removed. Category column distinguishes Security, Cumulative, Defender, Driver, Servicing, .NET, Feature upgrade, and Hidden entries.
- Title-based install pipeline — selected updates are matched against the live PSWindowsUpdate feed by Title rather than KB, so updates without a KB (Defender, drivers) and updates with multiple KBs install correctly.
