This is the seventh development build after the Windows Package Manager 1.6 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. Winget also supports initiating a reboot if a package requires one to complete an install. Winget resume is a new feature that will support resuming an installation when coming back from a reboot. 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.
Code:"experimentalFeatures": { "directMSI": true, "windowsFeature": true, "resume": true, "configuration03": true, "reboot": true, },
Windows Package Manager also 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.
A prerelease version of the Microsoft.WinGet.Client PowerShell module has been published to the PowerShell Gallery. To install the latest version of the PowerShell module, run the following command in PowerShell 7+.
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client
The PowerShell module requires App Installer (winget) to be installed. The Repair-WinGetPackageManager cmdlet (work in progress) is designed to install or repair App Installer.What's Changed
