THE HOLM GUIDE / REFERENCE
Updates
Choose your pace. Keep your settings.
Portable GitHub updates
Settings → Updates → Check for updates looks for a stable GitHub release. Automatic checks are on by default, shortly after startup and every two hours. Downloads and installation begin only when you choose Update and restart.
Installing an update
Use a folder your account can write to. Holm waits for file-sharing activities to finish before offering to restart, keeps a backup during replacement and restores it if the new app cannot start. Settings, friends and shortcuts stay in place. Development builds can check but cannot replace themselves.
Release channels
GitHub and Microsoft Store have separate release schedules. A GitHub release is only a prerelease when its publisher marks it as one. Microsoft Store currently offers Holm 1.10.0. Store-installed Holm uses Store-managed updates rather than the portable GitHub updater. Compare the verified channel versions on the download page.
