Managing Packages in Windows with winget | stevenschwenke.de

Create a file named "winget-upgrade.bat" with the following content in some script- or tool folder:

  1. @ECHO OFF

  2. ECHO Executing winget upgrade ...

  3. ECHO:

  4. winget upgrade | findstr /r /v /c:"Microsoft"

  5. ECHO:

  6. ECHO Please upgrade the packages above manually with "winget upgrade ID-of-app".

  7. ECHO:

  8. ECHO (This scheduled task can be removed in the Windows Task Scheduler)

  9. PAUSE

The line beginning with "winget" executes winget to show the list of packages with upgrades available. Using "findstr", this list is filtered so it includes nothing with "Microsoft" in it.
