For a little more than a year, I've been working with winget daily to monitor and maintain my Windows 10 and 11 PCs. For those not already in the know, winget is the built-in, PowerShell-based interface to Microsoft's Windows Package Manager service.
Winget is designed to enable "users to discover, install, upgrade, remove and configure applications on Windows 10 and 11 computers," according to Microsoft Learn. In my experience, winget is helpful for checking and updating most applications that run on Windows.
Please note: winget is included with Windows 10 version 1709 and later and all versions of Windows 11 as the App Installer. If you're running an earlier version of Windows 10, visit the winget home page at GitHub. There, click the Latest link under "Releases" at right, and download an item named "Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller...msixbundle" (the missing characters identify Microsoft Store apps). Double-click on this item to install it. (Don't worry: if you do this on a newer Windows version it will inform you, "The App Installer is already installed.")
