      @gregalexandre And you just need to react then there is a notification telling you that some updates are pending.

          @ted The VulnDetect Icon in the System Tray is not implemented yet, but you can vote for this suggestion here: Show VulnDetect Icon in the System Tray

            @olli_s But why this email, if it is not implemented yet? Kind confusing isn't?:

              @ted This is just a summary what topics are new here in the forums and not a list of implemented features.
              The reason why you see so many postings from me is that I have so many suggestions for VulnDetect (a complete concept) and that I posted them all here.
              But I am a normal user like you (that became moderator), I am not an official of SecTeer.

                  @olli_s You just need to react when:
                  1/ you need to update;
                  2/ something goes wrong (with the agent, communication with the server,...).
                  But I am sure that 2 will never happen :-)!

                    @gregalexandre Right, you described when the notification window should be shown and I described what should be shown in the notification window.
                    Perfect!
                    😉

                      The user should also be notified when there are new vulnerabilities found or new updates available.

                          @Tom It is very annoying, that keeping the system updated requires many manual steps.
                          I know, that VulnDetect informs me about available updates, but it still requires, that I install them manually (for most apps).

                          So I have to perform these steps manually:

                          • Check for Microsoft Windows Updates
                          • Check for Microsoft 365 Updates
                          • Check for Microsoft Edge Updates
                          • Check for Updates in the Microsoft Store (here I need some manual clicks)
                          • Check for Norton 360 Updates

                          These updates are installed via the app directly, so there is no installer file available that I can download and istall.
                          So, after VulnDetect tells me, that updates are available, I have to perform multiple manual steps and update the app, like:

                          • Go to the Windows Settings, click on "Windows Update" and then "Check for updates"
                          • Start Microsoft Excel, click on "Account" and then on the button "Office Updates"
                          • Start Microsoft Edge, go to the Settings, go to "Information about Edge" and wait for the result

                          For all other apps I have to download the installer of the new version manually and update the app.

                          It would be useful if the VulnDetect Agent

                          • Shows me a list of available updates (only apps, which have updates, not all apps)
                          • Shows also the available version number (recommended version)
                          • Shows a button "Update" behind each available update

                          This button "Update" does the following:

                          • Opens the Windows Updates with one click (or installs them with one click)
                          • Executes the Microsoft Office Updater (I can send the command)
                          • Starts Microsoft Edge and tells him to install updates
                          • Opens the Microsoft Store with one click (or installs Updates with one click)
                          • Downloads and executes the installer of all apps, that have an installer available

                          This way updating my system can be done with less mouse clicks.

                          A huge improve of the usability!
