  • Third party add ins reminder

    Posted on March 26, 2025 at 06:00 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    One of the things that I plan to start adding as a reminder to my patching checklist/to-dos is to check your add-ins. From browser add ins to operating add-ins, all of these third-party tools mean you no longer have a bog-standard operating system and thus will always be needing to be a bit more careful before updating. Depending on what third party tool you are using make sure you check its version against whatever is the latest version on the site you originally downloaded it from.

    This is one of the reasons I stick with a limited number of add-ins and then get the ones that will check for updates. For example, I’m a fan of Fences that help you corral your icons on your desktop.

    Bottom line: don’t forget to update those first and THEN, update your operating system.
