[wpkg-users] Updates without taskkill?

[Andreas Schamanek]

Hi fellow wpkgers,

Due to the fact that Windows 10 does a suspend to disk even at the 
so-called "shutdown" I created a scheduler task that runs WPKG every 8 
hours. This works, however, the disadvantage is that some updates, 
e.g. for Thunderbird, require a taskkill, e.g. I am using

   taskkill /F /IM Thunderbird.exe

Now since updates might run while a user is logged in and is actively 
using the application killing it is not good :}

What approaches are you using to work around this?

In my particular setup it's actually only 2 programs that are affected 
by this: Thunderbird and Firefox. Do you suggest that we should rely 
on Mozilla Maintenance Service? I haven't tried it for some years, 
now, because it didn't work back then on computers where users have no 
administrative rights at all. I am afraid that hasn't changed.
