Really? So much on top that the second one was to fix a major bug in the first update.

I have an interesting question.

UnigetUI works fine for me, but I noticed in the Package Managers that I have a lot missing. Does it make a difference on the programs it can update or anything else if there are additional package managers?

PerpetualCycle said:

Yes. Package managers cover different areas of software and different software. For instance one is dedicated to powershell software, another to python pip modules, etc. Some you may or may not care about.

Curious if anyone has bundled all their currently installed packages and used that bundle to reinstall their apps on a clean system.

If that didn't work, is there one you've used that does work?

Thanks....

UniGetUI 2026.3.0​

New Features​

• Added scheduled maintenance for update checks, automatic update installation, local backups, and cloud backups, with independent schedules, retries and timeouts.
• Added support for marking individual packages for automatic updates instead of automatically updating every package.
• Added Start Menu shortcut and folder management to the unified Manage shortcuts window, including removal, reset, relocation, post-install prompts, and command-line support.
• Added an optional Installer host column that shows each download domain and provides the full installer URL in a tooltip.
• Added configurable retention limits for timestamped local backups, with automatic removal of the oldest files.
• Added the %NAME% placeholder and a per-package subfolder style setting for creating sanitized custom installation directories.
• Added Update and Update as administrator actions to the Installed Packages page when a newer package version is available.
• Added a responsive package toolbar that moves actions into an overflow menu when the window is too narrow to display them all.
• Added warnings when an installed package version cannot be reliably verified, with explanatory tooltips in package lists and details.

Improvements​

• Improved package icon loading with bounded preloading and automatic retries after temporary failures.
• Improved update error messages for unavailable installers, already-current packages, and WinGet hash mismatches, including more relevant recovery guidance.
• Improved Linux compatibility by targeting a glibc 2.27 baseline so releases run on considerably older distributions.
• Migrated supported NuGet-backed package managers to the NuGet V3 API for more efficient and reliable feed access.

Bug Fixes​

• Fixed WinGet package detection, search, and update checks on Windows installations using non-English display languages.
• Fixed WinGet detection when its executable is not available through the system path by locating App Installer through Windows.
• Fixed updates being under-reported during the first scan by refreshing the WinGet catalog snapshot when its source index changes.
• Fixed version comparisons for packages that use underscores in build revisions, including Homebrew versions such as 18.4_1.
• Fixed PowerShell 5.x module operations incorrectly reporting success after non-terminating errors.
• Fixed Cargo package listings showing blank crate names or silently omitting entries.
• Fixed Scoop package listings hanging when commands produced excessive error output or stopped responding.
• Fixed shortcut removal failures by elevating when required and applying deletions as a single operation.
• Fixed package-manager dependency installations being accepted without verifying that the required tool was actually installed.
• Fixed Cargo-installed dependencies being missed when they were available in standard Cargo directories but not on the system path.

Security​

• Hardened PowerShell-based package operations against command injection by validating package values, rejecting shell metacharacters, and passing arguments as data.
• Hardened settings imports by rejecting unknown or unsafe names and preventing secure-settings paths from escaping their intended directory.

New Features​

• Added a terminal UI. Run uniget tui to manage packages from a terminal, using the same settings and history as the desktop app. A demo mode (--fake-data) lets you try it without changing anything on your computer.
• Added a uniget command-line launcher on Windows, Linux and macOS. The Windows installer has a new optional Add to PATH option.
• Added a package policy editor for Devolutions Agent (Windows only). Package broker requests are now checked against the Agent's rules before they're sent.
• You can now choose which package managers a Discover search uses.
• Added an optional download size column to package lists.
• UniGetUI now tells you when a package needs a restart to finish, and you can restart from the app.
• Installs, updates and uninstalls that you start yourself now run before automatic updates waiting in the queue.
• Added support for NuGet and Chocolatey sources that are local folders or network shares.

Improvements​

• Downloading installers: you can now set a default folder, see a progress bar with size and speed, and files already on disk are skipped.
• When a WinGet install fails because the app is still running, UniGetUI offers to close the app and retry.
• Redesigned the bundle import security report. Findings are ranked by risk, and you're asked to confirm before importing a bundle with high-risk findings.
• Restored the compact operation cards, and improved scrolling, animations, contrast and text wrapping across the interface.
• The keyboard and screen readers now work with hyperlinks, toggle switches and the sidebar More menu.
• Updated the Italian and Chinese (Simplified) translations.

Bug Fixes​

• Fixed WinGet updates going missing after upgrading from 2026.2.7, and updates targeting the wrong package ID.
• Fixed offered "updates" that were the same as or older than the installed version.
• Fixed missing Scoop updates caused by cut-off package IDs and versions.
• Fixed several PowerShell module install, update and uninstall failures.
• Fixed Pip update checks. They no longer need Python network access, and they now work correctly through the Agent broker.
• Fixed several UAC prompts appearing when "Ask for administrator privileges once for each batch" was on.
• Fixed self-update on system-wide installs, and cargo-binstall self-updates on Windows.
• Fixed the "Loading packages" animation getting stuck, and package selections resetting when a list reloaded.
• Fixed a crash when opening "Available Updates" from the tray icon.
• Fixed window resizing when hardware video acceleration is off, and taps on settings cards being treated as clicks while scrolling on touch screens.
• Fixed Chinese characters showing as squares, and added a bundled UI font on Linux.
• Fixed portable mode still writing Pinget files to %APPDATA%.
• Fixed crashes and Windows-only commands being used on macOS and Linux.
