FedUpDate

Unified Windows 11 Update & Anti-Tamper Orchestrator

"Because Microsoft needs three separate corporate divisions and zero communication to update one operating system."

An ultra-lightweight, transparent, and modern Windows 11 update management suite. It unifies Windows' fragmented update engines into a single, cohesive command center while protecting user control through an active Anti-Tamper State Watchdog and a true 1-Click Rollback Engine.

🌟 Key Capabilities

• The 3-in-1 Unified Update Engine:

  • OS & Defender Ring: Native Windows Update Agent COM API (Microsoft.Update.Session) + Microsoft Defender Antivirus signatures (MpCmdRun.exe). No mid-flight forced restarts.
  • WinGet Applications Ring: Automated detection and upgrade of third-party software, developer tools, and runtimes via winget.exe.
  • Microsoft Store Sync Ring: WMI/CIM MDM Enterprise scan method (MDM_EnterpriseModernAppManagement_AppManagement01:UpdateScanMethod) and Store background sync queue.

• Anti-Tamper & Policy Watchdog:

  • Audits and suppresses invasive Windows background update services (wuauserv, DoSvc, UsoSvc) and scheduled auto-reboot tasks.
  • Includes an on-boot persistence guard (FedUpDate-Watchdog-Enforcer) that audits and restores your chosen policies even after major Windows patches try to revert them.

• 100% Reversible State Ledger & Rollback Engine:

  • Every registry modification, service configuration, and task change is snapshotted into data/state_ledger.json and timestamped .bak files.
  • Full 1-Click Rollback (fedupdate rollback or in GUI) reverts settings cleanly back to previous states.

• Full -WhatIf Simulation:

  • Simulate update scans, installations, watchdog enforcements, and rollbacks without modifying a single byte on your system.

• Triple-Interface Flexibility:

  • Modern Fluent 2 Desktop GUI: Glassmorphic Mica/Acrylic backdrops, custom 48px extended title bar, 3 glowing status rings, SettingsCards, badge pills, and a real-time docked task progress drawer with a live terminal stream.
  • Interactive Terminal TUI: Fast keyboard-driven ANSI dashboard with interactive checkboxes and meters.
  • Headless CLI: Scriptable, pipe-friendly command line for power users and automation.

• Zero Opaque Dependencies:

  • 100% transparent C# host and PowerShell architecture with zero bloat and zero false positives.

⚡ Quick Start

Installation (Zero External Dependencies)

Run in PowerShell:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Arelius-D/FedUpDate/main/install.ps1 | iex

No packaged installer, no prebuilt binary. The source is downloaded, fedupdate is added to your User PATH, and Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts are created.

The desktop GUI is compiled on your machine during installation with the C# compiler that ships with Windows. The only binaries involved are Microsoft's WebView2 libraries, pulled from Microsoft's NuGet CDN.

CLI and TUI are pure PowerShell and need no compilation.
