This is the first development build after the Windows Package Manager 1.5 build for Windows 10 (1809+) and Windows 11. This build will be released to Windows Insider Dev builds and Windows Package Manager Insiders.
Experimental features are enabled in this release. Run winget features to see which experimental features are enabled or disabled. Add the following to your settings (winget settings) file to enable the experimental features such as WinGet configuration:
Code:"experimentalFeatures": { "dependencies": true, "directMSI": true, "configuration": true, "windowsFeature": true, },
Windows Package Manager now includes Winget configuration, which automatically handles the setup and configuration requirements for an ideal development environment on your Windows machine. WinGet configuration file helps with installing and managing software packages, applications, programming languages, frameworks, tools, or settings necessary for a project.
Check out our session at Microsoft Build to learn how to get your machine to a ready-to-code state.
