Microsoft recently introduced the Windows Package Manager (winget) which is basically a command-line tool. The tool is already available for Windows 11 users and the company has been actively improving it.
It is a good idea to keep all the applications on your device updated, which brings the latest features as well as security updates. However, it may become a time-consuming process if you have lots of apps installed on your computer. In such situations, the Windows Package Manager comes in handy.

That can even be done by entering just one command, saving you a lot of time as well as frustration by automating the process of searching, downloading, installing, updating, and configuring apps. This is applicable for Microsoft Store apps, traditional (win32) programs, and web apps, no matter how you acquired or installed them.
