![]() ![]() IObit Software Updater lets you update programs automatically at a scheduled time and shut down/ reboot your computer automatically after the update is completed. ![]() The one-click update solution frees you from updating outdated programs from different sources or websites, which can save you a lot of time and work. It's very hard to recommend IObit Software Updater right now as it locates few software titles from its database and the tools it does feature (Chrome, Firefox, Adobe products, security tools) mostly auto-update anyhow.IObit Software Updater is a freeware app that helps you update all outdated programs with just one click and install all popular must-have programs easily. You can also schedule automatic updates and add programs to your 'ignore list' (it offered to add Avira Safe Shopping to our ignore list, for example). The Software Updater will create a system restore point, in case you update software which causes your system to become unstable. IObit Software Updater also offers a number of recommended tools you can download from various categories, some we'd recommend, others we perhaps wouldn't. We then ran a comparison to our own Updater Tool, which listed updates for Adobe Brackets, Xara Photo & Graphic Designer and Amazon Music, tools which didn't appear in the IObit Software Updater, at all. The other was for Avira Safe Shopping, which although must have been embedded in the Registry, wasn't installed on our system. Worse, one of the recommended updates was for Google Chrome, which auto-updates anyhow. The less good news is that the database is very small and finds only essential software updates. IObit Software Updater is a free tool which will scan your system, check for all your installed software, compare this to an online database and then will warn you if an update is available. Web browsers will notify you of a new update, your security software will auto-update and so will Windows itself, but most other tools sit happily on your system and you might never know when a key update is available unless you go checking. Unless you download Windows 10 or 11 apps from the Microsoft Store, most installed software still won't auto-update. ![]()
