## Configurations
2022-01-22 08:04:18 +00:00
### Keep some apps out of Winget-AutoUpdate
2022-01-22 08:48:33 +00:00
You can exclude apps from update job (for instance, apps you want to keep at a specific version or apps with built-in auto-update):
2022-02-04 18:30:26 +00:00
Add the apps' ID you want to disable autoupdate to 'excluded_apps.txt'. (File must be placed in scripts' installation folder, or re-run install.bat).

### Default install location
2022-01-28 00:22:27 +00:00
By default, scripts and componants will be placed in ProgramData location (inside a Winget-autoupdate folder). You can change this with script argument.

### Notification language
2022-01-22 09:02:13 +00:00
You can easily translate toast notifications by creating your locale xml config file (and share it with us :) ).

### When does the script run?
Scheduled task is set to run:
- At user logon
- At 6AM eveyday (with the -StartWhenAvailable option to be sure it is run at least once a day)
2022-01-22 09:02:13 +00:00
This way, even without connected user, powered on computers get updated anyway.
### Log location
You can find logs in install location, in log folder.

## Optimization
2022-01-28 00:21:51 +00:00
As scripting is not my main job, feel free to give us any suggestions or optimizations in code.

## Security context
As these scripts are unkonwn for Defender (or other AV), it can scream to protect your PC.
Always check the script before running them.
