What UpdateHub is
UpdateHub is a free Windows application for finding updates to installed software, applications, and the operating system. It displays version numbers and release notes so users can review changes and choose which updates to install. The app also updates Microsoft Store apps. Its rollback function can restore the previous version after an update. The project README says downloads come from trusted official sources and are scanned by Windows Defender, which verifies each app’s security hash. The privacy policy says UpdateHub does not collect personally identifiable information. For diagnostics, it may log the operating system, app version, WinGet and other dependency versions, and error information on its server; those logs are periodically discarded. Requirements include 64-bit Windows 10 version 1809 (17763) or later, 250 MB of disk space, WinGet 1.4.11071 or later, and PowerShell 5.1 or later. macOS and Linux are not currently supported. A free download is linked from GitHub.
