FileHippo Update Checker

Hello
This app seems not to work well with Win 10 even though I tried to make it compatible with Windows 7.
I think most higher level users do not use these 3rd party apps and check program updates individually.
I would not be able to find flash and other apps so it helps to have these.
I have Secunia which is basically for vulnerabilities and need a replacement for FileHippo which checks for out dated apps.
I have read the alternatives but find it confusing due to the caveats. SUMo lite sounds good but there is a spyware issue
.
FileHippo Update Checker is shaky but does work - it takes 2 tries then detects the outdated programs. I don't know if that is doing the PC any harm.. What is your opinion of using it?
TQ

I'm sorry but I do not understand," I think you'll find Windows manages flash updates in Win 10."
Is this just for Flash?

No that update checker is not just for flash updates. You could try installing a much older version of FileHippo Update Checker, and see if it works any better, they still show lots of their older versions for download.

Does Windows have an update checker?

Yes of course it does.......but not for installed software not from Microsoft. That's why some folks use a 3rd party program update checker.... :)

only exception is Microsoft update will also download drivers for graphic cards, and other devices made by other companies.
But their only driver updates.

FileHippo Update Checker has been replaced with FileHippo App Manager and works on W10.

I have it on 2 W10 systems and it works just fine. Just give it as try and see if you like it.
