Allow standard user (non admin) to update installed softwares

-
Hi,
Sorry if this has already been raised but I would like to allow standard user (non admin) to update softwares on the PC such as Adobe Reader, Java, Itunes, etc. However, new software (not installed) must require admin access to install software.
I have enabled 'allows user to patch elevated products' but it didn't work.
Is this achievable using GPO or something? Any suggestions.
Regards,
Mitesh

Thanks for the information.
Do you know if there is anything I can use to achieve this?
I heard Configuration Manager or Puppet does but not quite sure if it works well and with non-Microsoft products. Also, I couldn't find how much it costs.
Do you have any suggestion?

Hi Mitesh,
As Martin said, there might be no built-in method to achieve this, and you could refer to the suggested third party tools from the thread which discussed the similar question.
