[Bug/Feature Request]: Some Apps need to be closed when updating

[AcpPasc]

The problem

I noticed on some Applications that either the Update Freezes or "Updates" and if i check in the App it is still the Old Vserion. In my Case it was on the AppIDs:

• 'Notepad++.Notepad++' Updates Successfully but stays on Old Version if App is Running

• 'DominikReichl.KeePass' Does not Update and freezes the WUA entirely / can not Install (The App asks to be closed in the background to Save Changes but the User does not see this > Timeout)

I am using admx via Intune to Set the Update list. 
I would like to set a notification as Popup to the User to Close the related App if it needs to be Closed (if possible with Configurable Time to do so or skip the App for this run)
If i find a way to do so i will post it.

WAU can't possibly know the process name to kill for individual apps. But, you know the process name. Make a mod for KeePass Password Safe (DominikReichl.KeePass-preinstall.ps1 under mods folder) with for example the code from following post (using KeePass process name/excluding the last line): https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate/issues/239#issue-1465009147

My Issue was also a way to deploy it with intune but I think your idea/solution Helped:

1. I Used the _APPID-Template.ps1 as Baseline für a preinstall
2. Utilized the Wait function but that alone would mean it probalby would never Update
3. Added a Few Lines that use the Start-NotifTask Function to Inform the use to Close the App

This Preinstaller Script gets Deployed by my Intune Installer and placed to the Mod Folder. Only Issues to note:

1. Yes you could Kill the Process (not Recommended if Stuff is not Saved).
2. if the user Ignores the Request/does not close the App/is on DND and does not see the Notification: all fllowing Updates won't be installed (maybe installed on the next run)

Could you share your few lines with us 😇

It is basically the "C:\ProgramData\Winget-AutoUpdate\mods_AppID-template.ps1" i have edited the following:

1. $Wait = @("KeePass")
2. User Notify (in German)

   Write-Log "Notify User to Close $($app.Name)" "Cyan"
   $Title = "{0} wartet auf Update" -f "$($app.Name)"
   $Message = "Bitte speichern und beenden Sie die KeePass Applikation, damit diese Updates installieren kann."
   $MessageType = "warning"
   $Balise = $($app.Name)
   Start-NotifTask -Title $Title -Message $Message -MessageType $MessageType -Balise $Balise -Button1Action $ReleaseNoteURL -Button1Text $Button1Text

   And saved it as 'DominikReichl.KeePass-preinstall.ps1'
