UpdateHub review
A free Windows updater with release details, selective installs, Store coverage, and rollback.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
UpdateHub is a free Windows desktop application for checking installed software, operating-system updates, Microsoft Store applications, and some drivers. It is aimed at Windows users who want to review available updates, choose which ones to install, and retain a rollback option for applications. UpdateHub displays version numbers and release notes, then installs downloaded updates automatically through its update flow.
The free plan keeps the product straightforward: the published plan is Free to use, with no paid tiers described. UpdateHub requires Windows 10 version 1809 or later, along with WinGet and PowerShell. It is distributed through GitHub releases. The product is not open source; its stated license is a Free for Personal Use License. These requirements make it a fit for users comfortable with a Windows-focused desktop utility and its supporting components.
UpdateHub’s strongest differentiator is control over the update process. Users can select which updates to install, review release information, and revert an application to a previous version. It also includes Microsoft Store application updates, broadening coverage beyond installed desktop software. The trade-off is limited ecosystem breadth: macOS and Linux are not supported, while verified bulk updating, scheduling, and integrations are limited. Users seeking basic, free Windows update checks with selective installation and rollback should consider UpdateHub. Organizations needing broader platform support, extensive automation, or deeper integrations should choose an alternative.
