I love theWindows Package Manager(also referred to as winget) so, so much.

I also lovePowerToys, they’re my number one and two recommended Windows 11 tools you should be using.

Using Winget to install apps through PowerToys

Previously you’ve needed a third-party plugin to use winget commands in PowerToys Run, but that’s about to change.

As revealed by Microsoft’s Kayla Cinnamon, the PowerToys team is currently cooking up a delicious integration.

Reunited with the Windows Terminal devs and we’re cooking up something new.

PowerToys general settings

This isn’t a completely new idea, I’ve previously covered a third-party plugin that offered similar functionality.

No additional commands required.

Even from the Microsoft Store, if that’s where they live.

Probably the only thing I don’t like about using winget is the clunky syntax for installing packages.

“It’s just not quite as intuitive.
