PatchShepherd
PatchShepherd keeps your PC up to date by scanning installed apps and drivers, then running trusted update tools when available (WinGet with Microsoft Store, Chocolatey, Scoop, PowerShell Gallery, npm, pip, and Windows Update). Updates run one at a time with clear status, history, and exportable logs. Scanning works without elevation. When a system-wide update needs admin rights, PatchShepherd shows a clear admin status button and prompts to relaunch only if you choose. Optional scheduled background scans and tray quick actions keep you in control.
