Update UniGetUI

UniGetUI has a built-in autoupdater. However, it can also be updated like any other package within UniGetUI (since UniGetUI is available from WinGet, Scoop and Chocolatey).

Features

• Install, update, and remove software from your system easily at one click: UniGetUI combines the packages from the most used package managers for windows: Winget, Chocolatey, Scoop, Pip, Npm and .NET Tool.
• Discover new packages and filter them to easily find the package you want.
• View detailed metadata about any package before installing it. Get the direct download URL or the name of the publisher, as well as the size of the download.
• Easily bulk-install, update, or uninstall multiple packages at once selecting multiple packages before performing an operation
• Automatically update packages, or be notified when updates become available. Skip versions or completely ignore updates on a per-package basis.
• Manage your available updates at the touch of a button from the Widgets pane or from Dev Home pane with Widgets for UniGetUI*.
• The system tray icon will also show the available updates and installed packages, to efficiently update a program or remove a package from your system.
• Easily customize how and where packages are installed. Select different installation options and switches for each package. Install an older version or force to install a 32 bit architecture. [But don't worry, those options will be saved for future updates for this package*]
• Share packages with your friends to show them off that program you found. Here is an example: Hey @friend, Check out this program!
• Export custom lists of packages to then import them to another machine and install those packages with previously specified, custom installation parameters. Setting up machines or configuring a specific software setup has never been easier.
• Backup your packages to a local file to easily recover your setup in a matter of seconds when migrating to a new machine*

UniGetUI wouldn't have been possible without the help of our dear contributors. From the person who fixed a typo to the person who improved half of the code, UniGetUI wouldn't be possible without them! :smile:

Frequently asked questions

Q: I am unable to install or upgrade a specific Winget package! What should I do?

A: This is likely an issue with Winget rather than UniGetUI.

Please check if it's possible to install/upgrade the package through PowerShell or the Command Prompt by using the commands winget upgrade or winget install, depending on the situation (for example: winget upgrade --id Microsoft.PowerToys).

If this doesn't work, consider asking for help at Winget's project page.

Q: The name of a package is trimmed with ellipsis — how do I see its full name/id?

A: This is a known limitation of Winget.

For more details, see this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/2603.

Q: My antivirus is telling me that UniGetUI is a virus! / My browser is blocking the download of UniGetUI!

A: A common reason apps (i.e., executables) get blocked and/or detected as a virus — even when there's nothing malicious about them, like in the case of UniGetUI — is because a relatively large amount of people are not using them.

Combine that with the fact that you might be downloading something recently released, and blocking unknown apps is in many cases a good precaution to take to prevent actual malware.

Since UniGetUI is open source and safe to use, whitelist the app in the settings of your antivirus/browser.

Q: Are Winget/Scoop packages safe?

A: UniGetUI, Microsoft, and Scoop aren't responsible for the packages available for download, which are provided by third parties and can theoretically be compromised.

Microsoft has implemented a few checks for the software available on Winget to mitigate the risks of downloading malware. Even so, it's recommended that you only download software from trusted publishers.
