Just [download latest version](https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate/archive/refs/tags/v1.6.3.zip), unzip, run "install.bat" as admin to install by default.

|

## Configurations
|
||||
### Keep some apps out of Winget-AutoUpdate
|
||||
- #### Black List
|
||||
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):
|
||||
Add (or remove) 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).
|
||||
- #### Or White List
|
||||
From 1.7.0 version, you can update only pre-selected apps. To do so, create an "included_apps.txt" with the apps' ID of the apps you want to auto-update and run the `Winget-AutoUpdate-Install.ps1` with `-UseWhiteList` parameter. Related post: https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate/issues/36
|
||||
### Default install location
|
||||
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
|
||||
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)
|
||||
- At 6AM Everyday (with the -StartWhenAvailable option to be sure it is run at least once a day)
|
||||
This way, even without connected user, powered on computers get updated anyway.
|
||||
### Log location

||||

**-Silent**
|
||||
Install Winget-AutoUpdate and prerequisites silently
|
||||
|
||||
**-WingetUpdatePath**
|

|
||||
|
||||
**-DoNotUpdate**
|
||||

|
||||

Disable Winget-AutoUpdate update checking. By default, WAU auto update if new version is available on Github.
|
||||
|
||||
**-UseWhiteList**
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**-Uninstall**
|
||||
Remove scheduled tasks and scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Help
|
||||
In some cases, you need to "unblock" the "intall.bat" file (Windows Defender SmartScreen). Right click, properties and unblock. Then, you'll be able to run it.
