Settings and updates

Open Settings with the gear icon in the header of the main window.

Language and appearance

The general settings contain the language and the display mode. Light and dark mode control the appearance of the application; the system-based choice follows Windows. A changed language can require a restart of the application; follow the message in the dialog and finish active work first.

When this tool runs as part of an O&O product, it can offer an option to follow the language and appearance of that product.

Application updates

The Updates page controls the automatic update check and shows the last check and its result. Use Check now to check manually. A newer version is announced in the status bar of the main window; selecting it asks for confirmation before the update is downloaded and applied.

The automatic check runs at most once per day when the application starts. An available update is not downloaded merely because a background check found it. The update process validates the downloaded application and restarts the tool to replace it.

Finish active work before updating. If the package cannot replace itself, the update action opens the download page instead. Update checks are suppressed in a Windows recovery environment.

An application update changes the tool itself. It is separate from the Windows and file-system operations described in the feature chapters.
