Standaloneupdaterdaemon -

Some daemons hold a mutex during an update. Force quit via Task Manager or wait 2-3 minutes for a timeout.

[Start] → Sleep (scheduled) → Check manifest → 
   │
   ├─ No update → back to sleep
   │
   └─ Update available → Download → Verify → 
        │
        ├─ Fail → Retry (exponential backoff) → after max retries, alert & sleep
        │
        └─ OK → Backup current → Apply new → Health check → 
                │
                ├─ Health OK → Commit → Notify success → Sleep
                │
                └─ Health fail → Rollback → Notify failure → Backoff & retry later

Antivirus software may scan the daemon’s download cache or its own binary, causing a race condition where both processes fight for disk I/O.

The Standalone Updater Daemon provides a robust, cross-platform foundation for unattended software updates. By decoupling update logic from the application and user session, it ensures systems remain patched, secure, and consistent—even in unreliable environments. Its design prioritizes atomicity, verifiability, and automatic recovery, making it suitable for embedded devices, server fleets, and desktop applications alike.
