Winget-AutoUpdate

Scripts to create scheduled tasks to daily update apps as system and notify connected users.

Intallation

Just download project, unzip, run install.bat as admin.

Info

Keep some apps out of Winget-AutoUpdate

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 the apps' ID you want to disable autoupdate from 'sample-excluded_apps.txt' and rename it to 'excluded_apps.txt'. (File must be placed in scripts' installation folder, or re-run install.bat).

Default install location

By default, scripts and componants will be placed in ProgramData location (inside a Winget-autoupdate folder). You can change this in the install ps1 script ($WingetUpdatePath).

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) 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

As scripting is not my main job, feel free to give me any suggestions or optimizations in code.
