WingetUI has made our top Windows Software picks list for the year 2022, and rightfully so. The application brings a user interface to several Windows package managers, including Chocolatey, Scoop and Winget.
The main idea behind the program is to make things easier for users who do not want to run commands from Terminal to install, update or remove applications from their Windows devices.

New features:
- A new interface is available to ignore updates. It allows:
- Pinning packages
- Skipping a version of a package.
- Viewing and removing single packages from the blacklist
- The Package Details window has a new section that allows to customize the install:
- All the options are under a collapsable widget
- User can modify:
- Architecture to install
- Installation environment (user or machine, local or global, etc.)
- Version to install (can automatically blacklist packages when installed, so older versions don't get updated when installed manually)
- Custom parameters to pass to the installer. There is now a textbox to be able to do that
- The Command label has been improved to adapt to the new options and toggles.
- Notifications have been reworked:
- Notifications will now show buttons on them, to make quick actions easier to reach.
