Hi fellow wpkgers,<br>
<br>
Due to the fact that Windows 10 does a suspend to disk even at the <br>
so-called "shutdown" I created a scheduler task that runs WPKG every 8 <br>
hours. This works, however, the disadvantage is that some updates, <br>
e.g. for Thunderbird, require a taskkill, e.g. I am using<br>
<br>
taskkill /F /IM Thunderbird.exe<br>
<br>
Now since updates might run while a user is logged in and is actively <br>
using the application killing it is not good :}<br>
<br>
What approaches are you using to work around this?<br>
<br>
In my particular setup it's actually only 2 programs that are affected <br>
by this: Thunderbird and Firefox. Do you suggest that we should rely <br>
on Mozilla Maintenance Service? I haven't tried it for some years, <br>
now, because it didn't work back then on computers where users have no <br>
administrative rights at all. I am afraid that hasn't changed.<br>
<br>
