Updates and uninstalling

Updates

The Android app updates through Google Play, like any app.

The computer programs don’t update themselves. Once a day they check whether a new version is out, and tell you:

• Windows: “Update available: … — download…” at the top of the tray menu, and one notification per new version.
• Mac: an “Update available” banner in the menu bar panel, and “Update available: … — Download…” in the menu.

Click it to open the download page, then install the new version over the old one. On Windows, setup offers to replace the installed version and puts the tray icon back afterwards.

The check is one plain request with no cookies and nothing about you or the computer. Turn it off with Tell me when an update is out (Windows: Settings › Advanced; Mac: Settings › Startup).

Keep both ends current

If the app says “PixelBridge on your computer and on this device are different versions”, update both.

Uninstall on Windows

Use any of these:

• Start menu › Uninstall PixelBridge
• Windows Settings › Apps › Installed apps › PixelBridge › Uninstall
• Run setup again and choose Uninstall PixelBridge from this PC

It removes the PixelBridge display and pen drivers, the background service, the tray app, its firewall rules and the startup entry. If PixelBridge had taken over pen input from another tablet driver, that driver’s file is put back exactly as it was.

Uninstall on a Mac

Quit PixelBridge from the menu bar (Quit PixelBridge host), then drag PixelBridge from Applications to the Trash. If you had it open at login, also remove it from System Settings › General › Login Items.

Uninstall on Android

Uninstall the app as usual. Your purchase stays with your Google account; restore it after reinstalling from the plans screen.
