UpdateHub

What UpdateHub is

UpdateHub is a free Windows app for finding updates to installed software, applications, Microsoft Store apps, and the operating system. It shows version numbers and release notes so users can review available changes and choose which updates to install. A rollback function can restore the previous version after an update. The project says downloads come from official sources and are scanned by Windows Defender, which verifies each app's security hash. Its privacy policy says the app does not collect personally identifiable information. For diagnostics, it may log the operating system, app and dependency versions, and error information on a server; those logs are periodically discarded. UpdateHub requires 64-bit Windows 10 version 1809 (17763) or later, 250 MB of disk space, WinGet 1.4.11071 or later, and PowerShell 5.1 or later. The project says macOS and Linux are not currently supported, though support is planned for later updates. A free download is linked from its GitHub page.

UpdateHub suits Windows users who want to review and choose updates for software, Store apps, and the operating system. It may also suit users who value the option to roll an update back.
