It's always a pain to keep all your software updated to their latest version. Most people just don't do updates, or only when they really need. But this could be very bad, because malware writers love to take advantage of software exploits to find new victims.
Here comes UCheck. UCheck is a software that lists your installed programs and offers to update them all in 2 clicks. You can cherry pick the programs you want, or bulk select them for update. UCheck also offers to install new programs straight from the developers official website, either one by one or with a bulk selection.
It does offer other advanced features such as the option to install many apps at once - useful when you have to deal with multiple computers. It is also very intuitive and easy to use.
Note: During the Setup process, you will be asked to enter a License ID and KEY. If you wish to use the FREE version just click on "Next" button and the setup will continue.

Comments and Reviews
If you really want a thorough list of the updates for your software including portables, this is great freeware... however, it will not do auto-updates for free
Alternative to sumo
5 Stars because it has a lot of potential. Finds more apps than winget but less than Sumo. It's free (for personal use) and easy to use. Love it so far.
If you want them to support an app you use, you need to notify them, they didn't have some apps I use nearly every day. Only supports programs, not drivers. You will need a different app for drivers. In Admin mode will auto-update, otherwise manual update.
