I have a Task Scheduler in Windows 10 to update MikTeX weekly.

mpm --update

And now I get this warning:

Warning: --update: this option has been deprecated;
it will be removed from a future version of MiKTeX

Is any replacement for --update?

    Try miktex packages update instead of mpm --update.

In the current version of MiKTeX, the --update option has been removed from the mpm (although still temporarily usable): https://docs.miktex.org/manual/mpm.html

This function has been taken over by the update command of miktex-packages program: https://docs.miktex.org/manual/miktex-packages.html

To update MiKTeX packages, you should use

miktex packages update

instead of mpm --update.

  • Is there a variant of this command with miktex administrator privilege?
