First, thank you for a great tool and the ability to manage portable and access installed apps in a convenient way. I created a toolkit for fixing friend's PCs based on the SyMenu Suite and some additional apps / utilities. It is organized by task: clean, update, monitor, privacy, support, utilities, and productivity. I store it on a pCloud drive so I can maintain a single copy for the PCs on my home network, and sync with a USB flash drive that can be write protected when supporting unknown computers (the ability to run in read only mode is a great feature!).
When checking for new apps in the SyMenu suite today, I noticed that PatchMyPC has been discontinued. As there was a major upgrade to PatchMyPC recently and the portable version seems to be active, I wasn't sure why it was discontinued in the SyMenu suite. What happened?
Thank you again for creating a GREAT tool!

You're right. I've just added it again. The problem is they don't advertise the home version enough. If you go to the page for a versions comparison (here https://patchmypc.com/pricing/) you can find no trace of it.
