Last week s official release of the final build of the Linux-style Windows Package Manager by Microsoft was met with great excitement from the community. But the company seems to have only belatedly spotted an issue with its Store alternative.
Windows Package Manager is now available in version 1.0.
The tool makes it easy to install and uninstall apps and packages on Windows 10.
Microsoft has tested Windows Package Manager in preview since May 2020.
At Microsoft Build 2021, the company released Windows Package Manager 1.0. First announced in preview at Build 2020, Windows Package Manager makes it easy to install software onto Windows 10. The tool is especially handy for IT admins that manage multiple PCs but can also be useful for individual users.
Windows Package Manager is a winget client that facilitates streamlines installations using the command line. There are third-party package managers, such as Chocolatey, that were already available for Windows, but it s nice to have another option from Microsoft.
