If you install Miktex 24.1 (Windows) and call up"Check for updates" and"Update now" via the console, the update runs until approx. 42% then the process starts to corrupt the entire installation. After termination of the frozen console (after hours), none of the Miktex programs work any more.

Regarding MiKTeX, have a look at the section"Installing sty or cls files" in the answer to the question How can I manually install a package on MikTex (Windows). You can then verify what file will be used with: kpsewhich filename.sty This will show the path to the file picked up by the TeX implementation.

MiKTeX supports the texify command -- TeX Live does not. (MiKTeX does not have a synctex binary -- TeX Live does. 2022 Edit: this has been resolved.)

Use the miktex setting (user and/or admin) program installed with the basic MikTex distribution to set"Install missing packages on-the-fly" to"Ask me first".

Thanks a lot! I was attempting to set up LaTeX workshop with MiKTeX and was having some trouble. I ended up downloading something called strawberry perl and I also downloaded latexmk using the MiKTeX console. Now it works well though. Do you know if there is any way to stop the notifications you get from the extension when your typing something?

Input file SAMPLE$.tex does not exist. at C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\scripts\latexdiff\latexdiff line 513, <DATA> line 20026. I suspect the problem is that the computer cannot find the file SAMPLE4.tex and that I need to make SAMPLE4.tex (and presumably also SAMPLE5.tex ) available in a directory that I can accurately specify in DOS.
