The winget command - Let Windows attempt to get the updates for all of your installed programs


 

I mentioned earlier that you can use the command:
winget upgrade --all --include-unknown --accept-source-agreements
to do exactly what the subject line says.

I thought I'd post the output from that winget command from my machine so those who have not used it can see what to expect.  Certain updates can (and do) fail, and I've had a couple do so repeatedly.  They are in progress as I snagged this information, and one of the "cranky ones" has historically been Microsoft PowerToys, so we'll see if that completes successfully.  But here's what has been produced so far:

Journalism 101:  If someone says it’s raining and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. It’s your job to look out the f**king window and find out which is true.
