Hello
This app seems not to work well with Win 10 even though I tried to make it compatible with Windows 7.
I think most higher level users do not use these 3rd party apps and check program updates individually.
I would not be able to find flash and other apps so it helps to have these.
I have Secunia which is basically for vulnerabilities and need a replacement for FileHippo which checks for out dated apps.
I have read the alternatives but find it confusing due to the caveats. SUMo lite sounds good but there is a spyware issue
.
FileHippo Update Checker is shaky but does work - it takes 2 tries then detects the outdated programs. I don't know if that is doing the PC any harm.. What is your opinion of using it?
TQ

Sumo (nork) - no relevant knowledge if I recall - is free of adware - you just have to be careful to download the right one.
See here for a commentary from a reputable source.

The most comprehensive checker I know of. But I wouldn't want its paid-for automatic update and install feature.
Filehippo used to be ok, but limited.. now it seems to be commercially oriented displaying an ad in its GUI and doesn't connect reliably. I think you'll find Windows manages flash updates in Win 10.
I'm sorry but I do not understand,"I think you'll find Windows manages flash updates in Win 10."
Is this just for Flash?
No that update checker is not just for flash updates. You could try installing a much older version of FileHippo Update Checker, and see if it works any better, they still show lots of their older versions for download.I'm sorry but I do not understand,"I think you'll find Windows manages flash updates in Win 10."
Is this just for Flash?
Does Windows have an update checker?
Yes of course it does.......but not for installed software not from Microsoft. That's why some folks use a 3rd party program update checker....Does Windows have an update checker?
only exception is Microsoft update will also download drivers for graphic cards, and other devices made by other companies.
But their only driver updates.
FileHippo Update Checker has been replaced with FileHippo App Manager and works on W10.

It goes up to 8.
I have it on 2 W10 systems and it works just fine. Just give it as try and see if you like it.It goes up to 8.
