About

Update Fixer is a lightweight, freeware app to automatically fix Windows Update. This program is an automatic Windows Update Fixer, but we couldn’t actually use that name, because Windows is Microsoft’s trademark and obviously we are not Microsoft. Therefore, our program is called Update Fixer. It’s a free Windows Update fixing tool. Update Fixer is a lightweight, no-nonsense program that does only one thing, but it does it very well: It fixes Windows Update. Nothing more, nothing less. Key Features 1) Automatically detects what is wrong with Windows Update. 2) Automatically fixes any found Windows Update related problems. 3) If you want, you can choose exactly what fixing operations should be done. Supports Dark Mode. 4) Very easy to use: Start the app, click a button. That’s it! 5) The user interface includes cats 🐱 6) Free and open source. Lightweight. No ads, no bundled software, no nonsense.

About

Allows the user to quickly and easily layout their windows on a dynamic grid using just the mouse. Gives functionality to the normally useless right mouse button when moving a window. Doing this will enable the grid snap mode. Simple to control, portable, and Installable. Works with Aerosnap, not intrusive. Grid overlay can be customized, can auto-update, and has customizable input. Supports Windows Vista (SP2), 7 (SP1), 8, 8.1 & 10. Saved window locations and theme customization. Grid overlay can sometimes be delayed. The WindowGrid32.dll may need to be added to some virus scanners' exclusion lists. Problems when moving non-DPI-aware windows between monitors with DPI scaling. WindowGrid is a modern window management program for Windows. Move the cursor to select the starting grid position of the window.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I was really hoping this app could fix a Windows 10 system which has refused to update since it was new. I'm a software engineer, and I have at least 100 hours into fixing this dysfunctionality over more than 5 years. Microsoft ought to produce such a tool, because they can put their hands on anything and everything they ought to need to repair their fragile update wares.

Cons

  • The first time I ran the tool, I believe it found 3 "recommended fixes" and 8 "optional fixes." You then click a "Fix Windows Update" button; and the machine is busy for awhile. Then it asks you to reboot the machine. When the machine reboots, a command window opens with a message that it's busy fixing the machine... everything is alright... the window will automatically close when it's finished. There's no failure error messages. It informs you, "This will take a few minutes." There's no progress indicator mechanism at all. Anyway, two-and-a-half hours later, the window still hadn't closed. Figuring the process must have crashed or run into a forbidding obstruction. I have run it several times since. It now finds 2 recommended fixes and 9 optional. I have selected all every try; with the same result each time.
