Winget-AutoUpdate

What Winget-AutoUpdate is

Winget-AutoUpdate is a free, open-source Windows utility that uses Winget to update applications in system or user context. It can notify users when updates are available or installed. Allowlists and blocklists, including wildcard app IDs, determine which applications update automatically. The default schedule runs at logon, with options for daily, twice-weekly, weekly, every two weeks, monthly, or never. Notifications can show every result, successes only, errors only, or no popups, and locale XML files can translate notification text. Custom scripts may run before, during, or after installations and upgrades, or after failures. Deployment documentation covers Intune, SCCM, Group Policy, and Winget-Install, while administrative templates manage settings through GPO or Intune. Fresh installations stop on metered connections by default, unless an installer setting permits operation. The project notes that Microsoft Store PowerShell is unsupported in system context.
