Even if you already have programs installed, you can select them on and add them to the installer if you would like to use Ninite to keep them updated. Now Ninite will automatically check for updates on a weekly basis for all of the programs that you selected the Installer to include. On the final summary page, make sure everything looks good and then click Finish. Once you’re done selecting it, Type /silent into the “Add arguments” box.

It is likely in your Downloads folder, but you can move it anywhere you like. Now you’ll need to click Browse and navigate to the Ninite installer that you downloaded from. On the Action page, select Start a program. Set a Time of day that you would like the update to occur, and then Set what day of the week you would like the update check to go through on. Since most programs don’t update on a daily basis, checking for updates daily is a bit overkill. On the Trigger page, Select Weekly then Click Next. On the first page just enter a name for the task, such as “Ninite Updater,” and then Click Next. In the Task Scheduler window, click the Action menu and then select Create Basic Task… Step 1Ĭlick the Start Menu Orb and Type task scheduler in the search box, then press Enter. Using Ninite to update is a lot easier than individually updating each program, and we can set it so that we won’t even notice when the updates are going through. Now let’s set up Ninite to automatically update the programs we just installed on a regular basis. That’s all there is to it, all of your programs should be installed and ready to use. Once the installation is finished, click Close. The installer will automatically go through and install each program one at a time, but you won’t have to do anything! You can let it run in the background or just sit there and watch it. The Ninite installer should start downloading, once it finishes – Run it.

Once you have the programs you want to be checked, Scroll down to the bottom and Select Get Installer. Typically, you’ll only need 1-2 programs per category, but don’t let me stop you from grabbing as many as you want. On the website, you’ll find a huge list of apps, and all of them ( except for the MS Office trial) are free to use. Start by heading over to using your preferred browser.
