Hello

1) Does the CMS update still work, or do I have to uninstall it?

2) Is the "CLI update script" (from https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/admin-tools/cli-update-script.html), the same as the CMS update?

3) I do not know how to access the CLI.

Sorry, I am lost here.

CMS Update works fine, what problem are you having?

  1. CLI update script updates the extension
    CMS update updates Joomla in a reliable way supported by shared hosts, too
  2. You need to call the php-cli binary. Your host can tell you exactly where that is located.

ok, now I understand. But I prefer not to mess with the cron jobs.

Let me ask. The CMS update component, it updates Joomla only, or ALL the extensions too?

CMS Update updates Joomla! only.

I was under the impression that Admin Tools checks and updates all extensions in Joomla. Is this not correct?

No, Admin Tools does not update other extensions. That capability is available through Joomla! Extensions Manager but not all extensions take advantage of it.
