Ditch the Store: Manage Windows Apps with Winget

Installing applications on Windows has often been a frustrating experience for many users, involving searching multiple websites and navigating complex installers. While the Microsoft Store offers some convenience, it doesn’t cover everything—leading to potential security risks and unwanted software. Fortunately, there’s now a powerful alternative: Winget, Microsoft’s command-line package…

These Winget Hacks Transformed How I Use Windows 11

Anyone who uses computers often knows how quickly some tasks can become repetitive and boring. For someone like me, constantly troubleshooting or fixing PCs, having a Windows feature for easy software installation is always a handy tool.

Software of the Week: WingetUI / UniGetUI

Keeping all of the programs on your computer up to date is important for security reasons; just ask LastPass, the disgraced password manager that got hacked because an employee’s personal computer was running an old version of Plex Media Server. The particular vulnerability that the hackers exploited had been patched almost 3 years earlier, but because the employee never bothered to update Plex, he never got the fix.

Every month that you leave software on your computer un-patched is time in which hackers may discover the vulnerability and start using it to attack computers. But how on earth can you even figure out which of your programs need updates? Doing that one by one takes forever, and THEN you still have to actually install those updates.

This is where software updaters are essential. On Windows, SUMO used to be among the best programs for the job, but it was discontinued in early 2024. I’ve been searching for a replacement for a while now, and I finally settled on WinGetUI (soon to be known as UniGetUI). A LOT more detail and some tips are under the readmore!

Details:

  • Purpose: Provide a unified frontend for multiple package managers on Microsoft Windows to simplify installing and updating software
  • OS Supported: Windows 10, 11
  • Installer Size: 76 MB
  • Country of Origin: Catalonia/Spain
  • Languages Supported: 16 languages fully, 24 partially
  • License: Freeware
  • Download Link: https://www.marticliment.com/wingetui/

Winget (“WIN-get”) is the name of Microsoft Window’s new-ish package manager, a program that itself takes care of installing and updating other software for you. Linux and Unix have had built-in package managers for decades, but Windows has been sorely lacking on that front until just recently. Winget provides the ability to install and update software, but it’s a command line utility, meaning you have to type text into a command prompt in order to get winget to do anything for you.

WinGetUI is essentially just a nice interface using winget in the background; it shows you which programs you have installed, which ones have updates available, and it will even install the updates for you. That last part was a game changer for me personally as it saves me a lot of time (I have a LOT of programs and libraries installed on my computer).

The best part is the developer has added support for other package managers too. Computer language SDKs often come with their own package managers for downloading the little libraries that you can bundle with code that you write, and WinGetUI now supports most of them: npm, pip, .NET Tool, Chocolatey, scoop, Powershell Gallery, and it can even list software installed from the Steam shop or the Microsoft Store (though it can’t update those ones for you). Incidentally, this is why the name is changing from WinGetUI to UniGetUI; it now supports a lot more package managers than just winget.

WinGetUI can even help you migrate software to a new computer. Simply install WinGetUI on your old computer, export a list of all of the software you have installed, then install WinGetUI on your new computer and import that list and then click install. You’ll probably have to babysit it for a while because Windows will prompt you to give admin access to the installers that need it, but hey. At least you don’t have to write down all the software you have and download and install each one by hand.

I do want to highlight that Microsoft is still working out the kinks in winget. Windows has existed for a long time and provided a lot of freedom in how you could install software. Multiple companies have made their fortunes just by providing custom installer software for Windows (InstallShield and NSIS being prime examples), so Microsoft has their work cut out for them trying to get all the different software manufacturers to list their software in the winget directory AND standardize their installers.

As such, you may run into issues like these:

  1. WinGetUI lists a program you installed manually and tries to update it via winget; the installer succeeds, but because those installation methods are different, you end up with 2 copies of the software installed in different locations
  2. WinGetUI fails to update a program because the hash of the downloaded installer doesn’t match the hash that winget says it should have. This is usually a developer error
  3. WinGetUI fails to determine whether some programs have updates available or not
  4. WinGetUI downloads an installer/updater but it fails to run because it detects that the installation methods for that program are different (manual install vs. winget install)

Almost all of these can be resolved by uninstalling the manually installed version and reinstalling it using winget, either from the command line or just from WinGetUI. Once you do that one-time operation, the winget package manager (and by extension WinGetUI) should be able to handle everything from there on out. It will only get better too as winget usage becomes more common among software developers.
