Portable Update

Portable Update is a software application developed to help you get Windows updates without an active Internet connection. It comes packed with an interesting set of options dedicated to advanced users.

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can drop the program files to any location on the hard disk and just click the executable to run.

It is also possible to save Portable Update to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any machine with minimum effort and without prior installers.

An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and files are not left behind on the HDD after program removal.

The interface is not particularly attractive but easy to work with. The window is divided into multiple tabs where you can view a Windows updates history list, use a search function, as well as select items to download and install.

As far as settings are concerned, you can view the program's path, architecture type, OS serial number, system online status and version, search criteria, scan cab file date, cache elements, and so on. Log details are shown as well.

Portable Update carries out a downloading and installing task rapidly and without errors. It has a good response time and works well, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. We have not come across any issues in our tests.

Portable Update is must-have application for any user, regardless of their skill level, just in case they need to update Windows without an active Internet connection.
