Exclude Dependencies from Deployment Processes

You can choose to exclude dependencies that are managed and updated outside of RCT Patching to prevent those dependencies from causing issues when updating applications. See Exclude Dependencies.

Support for New Docking Station Models

Reports now display information for HP G4 and HP G5 docking stations.

Bashed Bugs

Right Click Tools

Console Extension

Recast node, Right Click Tools menus, and console dashboards: Text is much more readable when navigating ConfigMgr in Dark Mode. Additional improvements to come in December.

Recast node: You can now see and use the scroll bars when using Right Click Tools on smaller resolution screens.

Dashboards

LAPS Console Dashboard: Right-clicking on a device to retrieve a LAPS password no longer produces an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error. (Customer-Reported Bug 74155)

Software Updates Deployment Status Web and Console Dashboards: Third-party updates published with RCT Patching correctly report their status correctly on the SUDS dashboards.

Software Updates Deployment Status Console Dashboard: 

• Where the console extension is connected to RMS, a pie chart no longer appears by mistake in the Missing Updates By Category section when the selected collection contains no devices.
• Filtering by compliance, software update group, and classification now works as expected.

Tools

Remote Windows Security 

• Just like in Recast Software 4.x versions, you can once again interact with the information on each tab while data loads. (Customer-Reported Bug 66015)
• The BitLocker tab loads correctly even when the information about available disks is incomplete.
• The Encryption Wizard correctly disables the Next button until a key protector is selected.

System Information 

• Correct operating system build information now displays for all devices. (Customer-Reported Bug 3559)

Recast Management Server

Discovery Sync: Attempting to synchronize Active Directory data does not produce a timeout error about AD group memberships in the Recast Management Server logs. (Customer-Reported Bug 75507)

SQL Database: During a database upgrade, there's no longer a 500.30 error when RMS is waiting for the SQL server to complete its startup. (Customer-Reported Bug 14422)

Permissions: Email User, Interactive Command Prompt, Interactive PowerShell Prompt, and Manage Computer actions are properly grouped under Local Actions instead of Installed Software.

RMS Audit Logs: The Input Parameters field now allows for resizing and scrolling, meaning you can see all the information it contains.

Release Date: October 29, 2025
Version 5.11.2510.2904 includes new features, plus a number of usability and accessibility enhancements. This version also adds bug fixes for Right Click Tools Insights, Privileged Access, and Patching.

Upgrade to this Recast Software release by downloading it from the Recast Portal. Instructions for installing this version can be found in our articles on updating Right Click Tools, Insights, Privileged Access, and Patching.

Features

Right Click Tools Patching

Schedule Deployments to Follow Patch Tuesday

You can now schedule deployments to coordinate with Microsoft's monthly security update release (aka Patch Tuesday). Previously, all deployment processes automatically ran as soon as a new application version was detected. With scheduling enabled, you can choose to deploy all application updates on, or soon after, Patch Tuesday. Future releases will add more scheduling options. See Deployment Scheduling.

KNOWN ISSUE (November 14, 2025): If a deployment process has scheduling enabled, clicking Reimport removes the deployment from MECM/Intune but does not import it. To work around this issue, you can temporarily disable scheduling, complete the reimport, and re-enable scheduling.

Deploy Applications and Updates to Intune's Built-in Groups

You can deploy applications to the All Devices and All Users groups built into Intune. See Add a Deployment Process.

Append or Replace Default Install/Uninstall Parameters

You now have the option to either append additional installation parameters onto the default install command or to entirely replace the default installation command. Previously, custom installation parameters were always added to the end of the default install command. If the parameter was already configured in the default command, the appended parameter was not applied. For ConfigMgr instructions, see Additional Installation Parameters; for Intune instructions, see Program Settings.

Updated Product Name in Software Updates for ConfigMgr

The Software Update for ConfigMgr feature now creates applications for WSUS using Recast as the publisher name and RCT Patching as the product name. 

Required action: Customers who deployed the initial September 2025 version with Application Manager as the product name must update it to RCT Patching on the Software Update Point Component Properties page to ensure that new application updates appear automatically in the ConfigMgr Software Update service. For more information, see Add a Software Update Process.

Right Click Tools

Deregister Devices from Windows Autopilot

Using our first Right Click Tool for Windows Autopilot, you can remove one or more devices from Autopilot. Future releases will add more Autopilot actions.

Usability & Accessibility Improvements

Right Click Tools Patching

We've added an array of small changes intended to prevent confusion, reduce friction, and make Patching easier:

Visual clarity on applications that can't be deployed in an environment

When selecting applications for a deployment process, you may see applications that are greyed out and disabled. This indicates that the application is not available for deployment to the selected environment. Hovering over the information icon displays the reason you cannot choose the application.

Easier deployment sequence adjustments 

It's easy to reorder the deployment sequence by moving individual deployment steps and delays up or down on the Deployment Process Details page. See View or Edit Deployment Process Settings.

A guard rail for deployment step deletion 

Selecting Delete Deployment Step from the drop-down menu on the Deployment Process Details page now opens a confirmation dialog, offering the opportunity to reconsider an action that can't be undone.

"Run" button now labeled "Check for Updates"

On the Deployment Process Details page, the Run button is now labeled Check for Updates to alleviate confusion about its function. Clicking Check for Updates still checks for new application versions and runs the deployment process when a new version is found in the Applications Catalog. 

A more visible Reimport function

A new Reimport button sits next to Check for Updates on the Deployment Processes page, making it easier to find than the Reimport Applications option in the More Options drop-down menu.

Right Click Tools Insights

Device Warranty Information Dashboard

Fine tuning the design for better accessibility:

• Chart tooltips are now white text on a black background. The updated styling matches that of the Warranty Timeline tooltips and provides better contrast and readability. Previously, chart tooltips had a background color that matched the selected chart segment, meaning that the degree of contrast varied.
• The Export to CSV button now features white text on a blue background to make it easier to spot.

Bug Fixes

Right Click Tools Insights

Device Warranty Information Dashboard:

• The Manufacturer column sorts correctly
• Global search works for the Remaining Coverage and Warranty End Date columns
• For exports to CSV, Remaining Coverage displays correctly 

Right Click Tools Privileged Access

Self-Service: The Recast Management Server no longer produces a 'Managed user not found' error when the device requesting self-service capabilities is a hybrid device managed from Intune. (Customer-Reported Bug 76626)

Right Click Tools Patching

Intune Integration: The same application and version are no longer added to Intune with every import. (Customer-Reported Bug 78773)

Custom Applications: It's once again possible to select custom applications for deployment processes when creating a new deployment process.

Deployment Processes: A single deployment process appears on the Applications page after adding additional applications to a previously saved deployment process. Previously, the Deployment Processes column displayed extra deployment processes.

Recast Agent

Event Viewer: Stopping the Recast Agent service no longer causes a crash to be reported in the Event Viewer. (Customer-Reported Bug 78050)

If your list of deployment processes is long, you'll be happy to hear that you can run all of them, including those that are paused, at once by selecting the Run All Deployments option on the Deployment Processes page.

View and Search Our Full Application/Update Catalog

All Right Click Tools Community users and Enterprise customers now have full visibility into the Patching Catalog within the Configuration Manager console. Browse 4000+ applications, or quickly pinpoint specific ones, that you could more easily keep secure and up-to-date with Right Click Tools Patching. For details, see View and Search the Application Catalog in Configuration Manager.
