It's OK if you're not familiar with those package managers. This program is different from the others in this list because it's really just a user interface for dealing with software that's published through various package managers - Winget, Scoop, Chocolatey, Pip, and NPM. It's more than just a software updater (might feel cluttered). I use it in Windows 11, but I also tested it in Windows 10 and Windows 8, and it worked great. It should work with all versions of Windows. These are certainly the most important things I look for in a software updater. Some things I really like are the fact that it works so quickly, can be run from a flash drive, and supports truly automatic updates. The only thing I don't like about it is that the user interface isn't quite as friendly as what's offered by some of the other software in this list, but don't skip trying this tool just on those grounds. It can also work as a simple software uninstaller. There are lots of optional settings you can enable, like disabling silent installs, enabling beta updates, forcing programs to shut down before updating them and many others. You can update all of them at once, or uncheck the ones you don't want to patch (or, of course, let the scheduled auto-updates do it for you automatically). It's easy to quickly tell the difference between applications that are already updated and ones that are outdated because the green titles indicate up-to-date software, while the red ones show outdated programs. It's my favorite option not only because it's completely portable, but also because it will install software patches-no clicking and no manual update checks! Patch My PC is what I use on my computer.
