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 It's easy to quickly tell the difference between applications that are already updated and ones that are outdated because the green titles indicate up-to-date software, while the red ones show outdated programs.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! Start with Windows is a freemium feature?

The weird version number leads us to believe UCheck just checks against Windows Update drivers, which has never been very good, and most geeks avoid using it. There's no explanation about these drivers, and the NVIDIA drivers (at the time of this review) are listed incorrectly. UCheck wanted to install Intel Watchdog Timer, NVIDIA drivers, and an Intel system, whatever that is. It accurately found software we knew was out of date.ĭrivers, on the other hand, were missed by a long shot. You can also download optional software that contains a list of some of the better-known programs. UCheck is simple to use click start and wait as it checks how many programs you have installed, sees if they are updated, and checks for driver updates. UCheck can check your computer for out-of-date apps as well as hardware and system drivers.
