Other¶

official docs

it’s a relatively new (2020) package manager for windows and likely will replace chocolatey & scoop. Atm chocolatey is still more capable IMO

it’s by default included in windows 11.

• it won’t work in cmd until after a few windows updates.
• the installed version is old and has issues. update app installer in the Microsoft store. (this eventually will auto update in the background.)

update all Microsoft Store apps

 Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | foreach { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" }
