I was fed up with having to keep things like npm, NodeJS and git up to date manually; so I created a little script that keeps things up to date automatically (configurable on a per-app basis) via WinGet.

I know there are already things out there… but they looked like a pain to install, and this is simple enough that I actually understand what it’s doing XD

It should soon be available for download via… winget install EricLowry.WinGetUpdater as well (awaiting validation on their end)!

      Yeah. It’s kind of surprising how many actually good things people at Microsoft have put out there that are just not advertised at all (cough… Power Toys… cough).

        I love my power toys. Have for… Oh God, it’s been more than a decade now.

        Oof just aged a bit there.

        Too bad MS is forcing me out with their foolishness.

          At this point, things like O&O ShutUp10++ and how Microsoft have left a ton of overrides for their horrible advertising/tracking/ai crap in for businesses to use in large scale deployments means you can actually get a really decent experience in Windows 11… It’s just not accessible to most people.

          I recently installed Everything Search and, Command Palette plugin someone made for it, and this little gem to fix my last remaining gripe with it: the lack of a good search feature.
