How to easily equip your computer with software in 2024
The UpdateStar Packs are software packages with all computer software you need in one place.
Boris WeberWhenever you have to install multiple software products for example for a new computer, it is a pain to remember, find and download the software you need.
That is why UpdateStar has come up with the idea of software collections named Packs using their own .xus file format. These Packs minimize the efforts to equip a new computer with the relevant software. The UpdateStar Packs are software collections with essential programs.
The big plus is the software is automatically always up to date thanks to UpdateStar Premium Edition.
