Honestly surprised at the small number of subscribers, considering this video's quality. Before winget, I didn't really want to use a package manager on Windows as the others were unofficial. I imagine a lot of people thought the same.
Thanks for the words of encouragement, Drew! I feel the same way, and will likely switch once Winget has an update option. For now, I am using Winget at work (pre-installed on all our windows machines), and have been loving how easy it is to install software on demand when I work on staff computers.
You're welcome. Yeah, it does make on-demand installs so much faster. "Oh, I need 7zip in this VM." *installs in about ten seconds through winget*
Thorough and yet concise. Excellent review. Thanks. 👏👍✌
Hey, man, awesome info. keep growing!
I have used Ninite in the past. So simple and easy to use. It saved so much time and effort.
This was soooo helpful. Thanks so much!
Very high quality and useful video.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Instantly subscribed! Amazing way of explaining and editing. All the best for ur channel and life ❤️
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words.

Great info. Thanks

Yes, I definitely want to start using a package manager.
And I smacked that thumbs up button.
Thank you!
Thanks! After using Linux for a while you really appreciate how useful package managers are.
@@markstechtorials3095 Linux has advantage with this kind of tools
choco info from regular user:
I think choco has a wider functionality than just download and install.
Choco has mass update that can run automatically (timed)
Installed app list can be also exported, and ported from powershell or GUI
Mass install option from exported or predefined list
GUI can handle most of the functions and has good search function
Can create alternate/local repository and repository redirect, for company or group use, the client side can be password protected and restricted to allow configuration only by admin, for force redirecting to alternate repository by default as example
Remote (centralized) pushing updates and installs - like as company sw center - also works with ease
In k8s/virtual environment can be a magic tool, as you can automate the sw installation with it
Updates can be done from the softwares updater or choco
Has a nice uninstall funcionality, sometimes it even works better for some reason - found few cases where it wasn't
There should be an option to upvote a video more than once. Great content 👍
Good video.
Thanks for the video
No problem!
Great content!
Can you make an updated version of this as winget is preinstalled with windows?
A tutorial of sorts can be helpful
I use chocolatey everytime, It has some issues but I love it as it contains almost all the packages or apps that I need.
I was forced to install Chocolatey a few weeks ago to get a particular piece of software.
That was my first encounter with a windows package manager, but getting to the point of having that software installed had me jumping through so many hoops that I almost gave up (hoops being trying to get Chocolatey installed and then my actual wanted software after that).
But finally I managed to get it done.
I now find this video and had no idea that there were other options.
Hopefully you found this helpful. Winget had actually come a long way since this video, and is out of beta. I hope to do a follow up video on it and the new features.
@@Allied10 Yes, it was quite useful. Looking forward to the update video.
If possible, when you do decide to make that video, I'd be curious to learn how to deal with package managers when one has already installed the available programs independently,
eg. will the package manager just install a second installation of its own, or will it recognise that it is already installed and just integrate that knowledge for the next time you'd like to update via the package manager instead? etc.
@@nutbunny10 I've only experimented a little, but the latest version of Winget seems to detect if an app was installed previously (manually) and has the ability to update it just like any app that was installed directly with Winget.
@@Allied10 that is good to hear
Thanks a lot for the video! Extremely helpful 😀👍
Are there any problems with Chocolatey? Do I have to update all my software using only choco or I could also use in app update option? Any conflict there?
Thanks.
Hey Yuriy! Glad it was helpful.
You can certainly use Chocolatey to only update certain software as you see fit. It will show you which software is out of date (compared against it's repository), but you can select individual ones to update if you don't want to update them all. Using the app's built-in updater works just as well, but not every app has that feature. Some people also prefer that their apps don't update in the background.
With the command "choco upgrade all -y" You can make magic.
Wholesome moderaterinos :D :OOOOO I know a lot about this coming from this site called reddit!!!
there is also package manager named scoop, have you tried it? what is your experience?
Winget is quite easy, like I had GeForce experience app on my laptop , I went to the app but it had no update , but Winget showed a new version , when I went into the official website , I saw the same version as Winget was showing . I don't really play games on my laptop so it wasn't necessary but I update GeForce anyways . Quite nice imo.
0:36 i would've felt sad hadnt u said the foll part ;)
Chocolatey is going well for me. Since I don't like Unix based systems and know windows well enough to remove all the bloatware, windows 10 is my daily choice. But it was damn fine to update all of your apps with just one line of code on Linux.
Winget 1.0 just got released which actually has this feature now. ' Winget Upgrade --all ' will update all your packages in one go. You may want to launch the terminal as Administrator though, unless you love UAC prompts.
@@markstechtorials3095 Well after a couple weeks writing this comment I stopped using Chocolatey. The reason was that I didn't trust all the packages since anyone could create one and chocolatey itself started to feel like bloatware for some reason. I'm doing everything manually but I'll check your recommendation out.
Was looking for this because I just accidentally installed some bad app that was pretending to be something else. I cant for the life of me why its taken so long for windows to get with the program. They brought out an app store many years ago and it still didn't occur to them to bring a package manager into windows.
choco+gui are hard to setup?
i mean...i copied the command line, opened power shell, pasted, hit enter... didnt seem like a problem to me, their site even has a copy button for each command line you need to use to get both the app and gui installed... if its easy enough my parents could follow the directions and do it without me... thats far from hard.
ninite has been around along time, its installers will update the apps when you run/re-run them, but i dont personally think of that quite the same way, if i want to change my options i have to grab another setup file... not quite the same.
Why does everyone skip over scoop installer? Its fast, lots of packages and simplified.
9:10 will watch later
Smash that like button! MGS! Nerd.
I was surprised that the MGS soundclip isn't copyrighted...still waiting for the Konami police to knock on my door.
portable apps is the best
There is also a great free program named "PatchMyPC". I found it most easy to install, uninstall and auto-update apps using this.
0:57 ".. and it's _rare_ that u got a -ve impact..."
no sir, by no means it's rare.
as of today no need install winget anymore it already come on windows as its the official one.
windows following to linux!?
Pretty much. It's one of my favorite features in Linux, so I'm happy to see Windows adopting it.
Winget 1.0 was released this past week. My guess is that next Feature Update it will be included.
You guys are updating apps🤣
Why is there not a setup like ninite to just click on the package and install all programs at once
There is Ninite for that.
