Option to not report preview and beta versions
« on: November 07, 2023, 12:58:40 PM »
Hi,

I would like to request the ability to turn off reporting preview and beta versions of programs as available updates.

Thank You,
Tracy

Hi Tracy,

UCheck is not meant to report Beta and preview releases of software. This is an issue with Community Updates.
Could you please attach UCheck latest scan report with your next reply ?

Regards.

Hi Tracy,

Thanks for your extensive feedback.
We still have many issues to fix.

Regarding, Firefox and Thunderbird detection issues should, please see this post : False positives - Version installed is not correct

I have attached another example of a beta being shown, in this case for KiCAD, the free electronics design application. The current release is 7.0.10 and UCheck is recommending 8.0.0.rc.2.

I also have issues with some of the sysinternals.com apps, such as contig.exe. This is not really a UCheck issue as the latest version is 1.83 but the contig.exe property details show 1.8.3 so Ucheck thinks 1.8 is outdated compared to 1.83 - although UCheck actually thinks 1.70 is the latest version so UCheck's DB is not up-to-date (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/contig). It does mean that I have to mentally ignore this every time I run UCheck.

Thanks for the work you do!
