Client Update on Windows

When a new update is available, the following notification will appear as soon as you open the client.


In case the notification does not show up, you can summon it by clicking on Preferences in the upper right menu and then on Update (tab: General).

1. The message about the update will open. In order to start it, click on OK. You will then be redirected to the FAUbox-Webinterface.

2. The newest client version is now downloaded.

3. Now you have to confirm your decision and allow the FAUbox to make necessary changes to your device.
4. Afterwards, you have to accept the license agreement.

5. Next, you will be asked whether you want to update or remove the FAUbox client. Select Update and click on Next.

6. Now the installation of the newest client version will begin.

7. Reboot your device.

8. Finished! After rebooting, the newest client version will be installed and you can continue working with the FAUbox as usual.

In case two autostart entries exist after the update and your local client continues to double start, please check under C:\Users\<UserID>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (UserID is your local user ID on your computer) if multiple FAUbox entries appear. If yes, please delete both and reset the correct one under “Client -> Preferences -> Start after Windows Login”.
