Winget-AutoUpdate
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 project, 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.
Optimization
As scripting is not my main job, feel free to give us any suggestions or optimizations in code.
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:
