# Winget-AutoUpdate (WAU)
|
|
This project uses the Winget tool to daily update apps (with system context) and notify users when updates are available and installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Intallation
|
|
Just [download latest version](https://api.github.com/repos/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate/zipball), unzip, run "install.bat" as admin.
|
|
|
|
## Configurations
|
|
### 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 (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).
|
|
### 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)
|
|
This way, even without connected user, powered on computers get updated anyway.
|
|
### Log location
|
|
You can find logs in install location, in log folder.
|
|
### "Unknown" App version
|
|
As explained in this [post](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/1255), Winget cannot detect the current version of some installed apps. We decided to skip managing these apps with WAU to avoid retries each time WAU runs:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eventually, try to reinstall or update app manually to see if new version is detected.
|
|
|
|
## Update WAU
|
|
### Manual Update
|
|
Same process as new installation : download, unzip and run "install.bat"
|
|
|
|
### Automatic Update
|
|
A new Auto-Update process has been released from version 1.5.0. By default, WAU AutoUpdate is enabled.
|
|
To disable WAU AutoUpdate, run the "winget-install-and-update.ps1" with "-DisableWAUAutoUpdate" parameter
|
|
|
|
## 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.

## Optimization

Feel free to give us any suggestions or optimizations in code.
