Used WoWup but apparently they arent being updated correctly anymore? Wondering what everyone else is using. I’d install em manually but I’m feeling lazy.

Did you update to the latest version and rescan your addons in WoWUp? You won’t get updates for addons that are on non-Curse sources without rescanning.
Personally after a rescan there’s only one addon I use that doesn’t get updates from elsewhere, and it’s not really essential (Zerith Mortis Puzzle Helper).
Wago is offering that in WoWUp 
Ahh I might just need to reinstall that addon then. Just rescanning didn’t pick it up.
I just use Curseforge, never understood the hate for it tbh. Updates are usually only necessary once per patch (with occasional DBM updates in between), and when I’m finished I make sure it and Overwolf are fully closed.

I run curse for 38 seconds each day to check addons and update them and immediately close it. It does exactly what I need and nothing more.

Overwolf-Curse doesn’t really have serious problems presently, but the main fear is that once it’s become a true monopoly that will change since they’ll be the only game in town for automated updates.
I think those in need of automated updates most are users of the raiderio addon since its data is constantly changing. DBM gets whiny if you don’t update it every week too.
The worst part about DBM is that it’ll disable itself.
Haven’t had that problem with BigWigs.
People still use that? I haven’t been doing M+ in a long time (all my friends quit WoW last summer), but I figured people would have stopped using that once Blizzard implemented their own system into the base game. Raider.io also has it’s own auto-update software anyway.
Raiderio will bug out using the curse updater, that one is set to ignore updates on my curse. BugSack was going crazy til I realized the issue there.
i just switch to the alpha of curse no overwolf and and be closed

I dunno, I haven’t done M+ recently but players tend to stick to third party stuff even when it’s been mostly obviated by built in stuff and even when there’s not a large benefit to doing so, so I figure it’s still getting used.
It’s good that the addon has its own dedicated update software I guess, but it’s a bit of a double-edged sword in that it further adds to the pile of crap always open in your system tray. If you remember the late 90s and early 00s, the system tray was constantly overflowing, and it feels like we’re returning to that after a period of relative sanity in the Win7-Win10 era.
Yes i did the rescan thingy
The key difference there is that computers nowadays can handle it, back then just having Steam open in the background would cripple my computer 
Hah that’s true, though it does still slow down time from boot → usable desktop noticably. I keep a minimal set of background processes but even with nice high end hardware I’m always a bit taken aback by how much faster a clean Windows install is at getting to desktop.
Are you missing specific addons or is it just not working at all?
I’ve heard that there’s a Curseforge “Lite” version of the app, although I didn’t see it in the downloads section of the site. Totally possible I’m misremembering something I read here on the forums.
no its working i just didnt know if it is fully working or not…
Had to reinstall CurseForge as I’d been tinkering with the location of my WoW files. Norton very happy to let me go ahead with the Alpha version but Malwarebytes immediately spotted a Trojan and blocked the set-up.
Be warned.
Now, I need to find a new provider. Any more recent recommendations?
EDIT: found WoWUp. Is it any good?
