MiKTeX package update: Select All grayed out
Since I am the sole user of the computer, I installed it as non-administrator. If I rely on an administrator to install MiKTeK, I won't be able to update the packages that were included with his installation.
I ran into a problem updating the packages. The Select All button is grayed out. There are countless packages (I installed every one of them), so going through to check off individual packages is infeasible. All of the packages are "updateable", as the list is titled "Updateable Packages".
For context, some of the packages should be up-to-date already, and some should not be. All the ones that were installed with the installation of MiKTeK are not up to date because they came from the CD. All the packages installed afterward are up to date, but that still means there are countless packages that are not up to date.
Wy would the Select All button be grayed out? Is there any other way to update all packages without having to check off millions of checkboxes?
