In Windows it would be
I'm pretty sure.
Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate
That will install the module required for Windows Update command line
Still doesnt update the system
Winget update --all
But yes, this updates any packages distributed by Ms store and winget repos. As an IT professional, I love winget.
My first introduction to winget as a sysadmin was horrible. Why Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make winget reliant on the user environment still baffles me. Why on earth would they require admin rights for some commands if you need to have logged into the system once?! Even the user created for LAPS does not have that requirement!
Even getting it to run through a service on system level requires you to find the nondescript directory of the executable (which may or may not he the same on other devices!) To get basic functionality going. But even with the --ignore-unknown flag (because it is not able to determine the version of packages when run through a service) winget will refuse to update without a user environment.
Winget is a step in the right direction... but man it is SO SLOW. If PowerBI Desktop has an update, it is actually taking me 20+ minutes to update a handful of apps.
I just like that it can be scripted and run during off hours.
Which will try to update all 3 apps that are available via winget. It will break one of them. It has 50% chance of bonking some drivers.
More than 3 apps. https://winget.run/
But Window's software incompatibility doesn't change anything.
It's not nothing, and the effort is commendable. Def more than three. Dare I say it's even more than five.
Yet, in a grand scheme of things, it's indistinguishable from three.
If NT is given as much time as the Linux kernel has had to mature then I'm sure they'll have more packages built for it over the years.
What does this even mean? Windows as an operating system has existed since 1985, and NT has been around since 1993. Linux initial release was 1991.
Microsoft has had all the time in the world.
If people use it then eventually itβll have more than 4k packages for it.
