Support Custom Detection and Requirement Rules for Patch My PC Catalogue Apps in Cloud

We’d like the ability to configure custom detection and requirement logic for Patch My PC catalogue applications when deploying via Patch My PC Cloud (not for custom apps).

Why this matters

  • Detection rules: Intune currently only allows a single detection type per app, which limits flexibility. Allowing customers to supply a PowerShell snippet that is appended to the Patch My PC detection script would let us layer in extra checks - e.g., looking for specific registry keys or files (such as VPN profiles) - in addition to the standard PMPC software/version detection. This snippet should persist across future versions of the app.

  • Future compatibility: If Patch My PC later supports native Intune detection rules and moves away from PowerShell, please continue to provide a way for customers to add complementary detection logic alongside the built-in detection.

  • Requirement rules: Since Intune already supports mixing multiple requirement types (file, registry, script, etc.), it would be valuable if Patch My PC Cloud also allowed us to freely configure and apply custom requirement rules during deployment.

Benefits

  • More precise detection in real-world environments

  • Ability to align app deployments with device-specific customisations

  • Consistency across updates without manual re-work

  • Attach files
