Missing Company Name in WhyNotWin11.exe Digital Certificate Causes Issue with Software Updater #736
Comments
Yeah, I can do that. Give me a bit to get home |
It's been added to test builds. I'll probably release a new stable build by end of the month or so |

Hi @rcmaehl Problem solved. I just wanted to confirm that the UCheck v5.2.2.0 software updater utility is now detecting my WhyNotWin11 Portable v2.6.0.0 app as a "Community" program (i.e., where the latest available version is determined from telemetry collected from the wider UCheck community) and correctly identifies v2.6.0.0 as the latest available version since you added a value for COMPANY to the file attributes / digital signature to the WhyNotWin11 executables. Kudos for fixing this so quickly. |
I would like to request that a Company name be added to the file attributes and/or digital certificate of the WhyNotWin11.exe executable.
I am currently using WhyNotWin11 Portable v2.5.0.5 on a 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 machine that I have unzipped on a removable USB stick at E:\Portable\WhyNotWin11 2_5_0_5. The file attributes and/or digital certificate for WhyNotWin11.exe is missing a value for the Company field, as shown in this Sysinternals Sigcheck output:
As a result the UCheck v5.x software updater I use to check for available updates for my ~ 80 installed and portable applications is unable to find the latest available version for WhyNotWin11 (i.e., a UCheck script filters out WhyNotWin11 from the scan results as "uninteresting") because this software updater requires a Company name to confirm a match for the program executable. NOTE: Only one other app I use, BleachBit Portable v4.6.0, has the same problem because of a missing value for "Company".
I have reported this issue to Tigzy, the developer of UCheck (see my UCheck bug report at AdliceSoftware/UCheck#28), but Tigzy has closed that bug report and stated that it is the responsibility of the developer of WhyNotWin11 to add the missing Company name to the digital certificate of the WhyNotWin11.exe.
