As part of the Manage Conflicting Processes\Notification Policies for updates, add an option to show a notification pop-up after the installation of the update has completed. Users don't know how long an update installation will take after allowing to go forward after closing the conflicting processes. This would let them know the update is complete and they can start working with the closed app again.
Actively being developed for Patch My PC Cloud, Publisher will be trailing.

Just cross posting from the merged idea. https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-4792
Whilst both notification of completion, and a progress bar, relate to communication with the end user.
They serve somewhat different purposes.
Progress bar gives the user an understanding that something is actually happening. Currently they are simply left in the dark up until the tiny Intune toast notification appears. This could be some time later and through this time the user has zero ongoing indication that anything is actually happening.
The successful installation notification is the final A-OK good to proceed and reopen conflicting applications. But this only occurs at the end of the process and the user is still left in the dark up until then.
It might be well and good if the user was present and allowed the install to proceed... But if they glanced away and the install timeout proceeded to close conflicting apps they would return and be left to wonder why, and when they can resume.
I argue there is value in having both and hope that they are both considered for implementation.
Hey guys,
A massive problem in our organization is PMPC updates that are interrupted by users shutting down, sleeping, restarting, or otherwise terminating the installation process.
Please keep the progress bar on your radar even after the idea merge.
Thank you!

This would be very helpful to have this available. It would also be beneficial to include an in-progress status pop-up so users can easily track the installation progress.
Excited to see this is coming! Would relieve a big pain point for my org.
We would welcome this functionality and its good to see it is in development....
This would be really great to be able to turn on so the users know when they can start working again. Hope it's ready soon :-)
Hoping this feature releases soon! Would be great for the constant WebView updates requiring Teams and Outlook be closed.
This would be incredibly helpful to have as a feature. Especially for apps that take longer to finish updating.
I love this idea was trying to find a post script I could run to notify users the app can be run again and came across this forum.
This option is present in PSADT but not in PMPC, should be normal behavior to let the user know when they can proceed with their work.
This is a critical part of the process - the User may be waiting for completion which never comes!!
This would indeed be a handy feature. Is this possible to do with pre/post scripts?
Das would be absolutely amazing. Please do it.
We would also like this. Without this we are being asked to look at other solutions. As it is so key.
I would absolutely love this, this is one of the only complaints we have about PMPC (would recommend it anyway, though).
We would also love this
To expand, i would like to include the ability to control showing the user when a conflicting app has installed and to relaunch the app
This would be great to have in our org. The only complaint I've gotten about PMP- but unfortunately it's been a vocal one- is that no success window is displayed after the installation occurs, so people are not sure how long they have to run the app. If I turn on Intune notifications the users get failures if they delay the installation so we really need those off to decrease confusion.
This is a major issue with the product overall. I've been working on implementing PMPC for a client, and this came up in conversation very early in the implementation process.
This would be especially helpful for Adobe updates since they take so long, and you can't open any office applications until the update finishes. One of the biggest complaints we get from end users.
