How many times did you have to leave your computer, after a format, to download the updates you had before it? How many times did you have to go do something else, leaving your friend’s computer download the load of updates with their poor little dial-up modem? How many times have you wished for the updates to be portable from one computer to another and not require but a few mouse clicks to install?
If you’re the “computer guy” of the pack, no doubt the answer to the above questions was “I’ve lost count”! And if you have one or two computers you should consider yourself lucky as well. Think of what would happen if you had to update ten or twenty computers daily!
Is there any way to avoid all this trouble?
Besides the updates one finds on Windows Update (which are not portable), Microsoft also issues special updates (called administrative updates or network install updates), which do not require an Internet connection present during the installation process. The user however will have to answer to a series of (for the most part identical) questions. Even this can be an annoyance since it requires the user’s presence for quite some time.
The solution!
AutoPatcher is based on the functionality of these special updates, automating their installation process. This way, with only a few mouse clicks and two minutes of your time, AutoPatcher is able to continue with the installation of the items you selected. In short, AutoPatcher combines the advantage of both Windows Update (presentation and description of updates and automated installation), and the special administrative updates (portability and installation without the need of an Internet connection).

AutoPatcher Lives!!!
This website had never discontinued, to the best of my knowledge. It remains fully operational as of 03rd November, 2020 when I write this review. Just that the URL lands on a forum home rather than a website's home.
Registering at this forum is NOT required to just download the utility.
There are two parts to the utility -- the patcher itself, and it's updater. Both need to be downloaded. The updates are only fetched by the updater. This enables applying the updates to computers which don't have a connection to the Internet. The updates folder is portable and can be moved around on USB drives.
