Provide statistics on app closes

It would be nice to have some details on how many times the user deferred an app update and if that update forcibly closed the app.

High security option to allow admin to approve updates, based on metadata

This is because of the Solarwinds issue. If PatchMyPC gets hacked in the future, it could be used to deploy things we do not want into our systems. I would like to see a way for the local admin to approve what is being deployed, by independently v...
