Thanks for replying @Fabler2,

At first, it is not working with the latest dev build. Powershell would give an error for winget upgrade or the list of apps (red).

I get this in powershell this morning and it is not working anymore:

Powershell ISE:

Code:

PS C:\Windows\system32> winget upgrade
   -\| 
   - 
No installed package found matching input criteria.

In PS:

Code:

PS C:\Windows\system32> winget upgrade
No installed package found matching input criteria.

Code:

Windows PowerShell

Install the latest PowerShell for new features and improvements! https://aka.ms/PSWindows

PS C:\Windows\system32

>

That should be made automatically in silence and/or on board with a dev build.

This is where we started:

Runs fine either via Windows PowerShell or Windows Terminal for me in the Dev channel

Thanks again for replying, I appreciate.

It is back to normal now. Go figure!

PS or PS ISE is working (admin), but the version is higher in the previous post:

The winget command line utility enables installing applications and other packages from the command line.

More help can be found at: https://aka.ms/winget-command-help

Code:

PS C:\Windows\system32> winget --version
v1.0.11451

I guess that when apps are up to date the terminal has a good reading:

Code:

PS C:\Windows\system32> winget upgrade --all
   - 
No applicable update found.

All the best,

Just tried it on my Dev machine. Accessed via Command Prompt in Administrator mode. Upgraded several apps painlessly and quickly. Once this is tied in with more apps, I think it's going to be a huge time saver.

winget install lists all the apps currently available.

There are some useful features. -show list all installed packages. Handy to make a list of them..
Have to figure out about appropriate rights for winget. Tried to install one package, but get Access denied

The link appears to be good Andre when pasting the url in FF. At least you can get it that way with the exit code 1.

Retry it later, this is a new feature.

Other examples of what appears to be a great feature:

Code:

 winget show revo

The Url works for ff and the msi icon is the one shown in post number one of build 21390.1. The MSI installer overwrites the existing browser, but I get the maintenance package in extra. Deleted in Revo after.
