When installing multiple packages, this flag allows the operation to continue with the remaining packages instead of failing entirely when one or more packages are not found in the configured sources. This brings the same behavior previously available with import --ignore-unavailable to direct multi-package installs.

If you find any bugs or problems, please help us out by filing an issue . Experimental under sourcePriority ; defaulted to disabled. With this feature, one can assign a numerical priority to sources when added or later through the source edit command. Sources with higher priority are sorted first in the list of sources, which results in them getting put first in the results if other things are equal. Search result ordering in winget is currently based on these values in this order: Match quality (how well a valid field matches the search request) Match field (which field was matched against the search request) Source order (was always relevant, but with priority you can more easily affect this) Beyond the ability to slightly affect the result ordering, commands that primarily target available packages (largely install ) will now prefer to use a single result from a source with higher priority rather than prompting for disambiguation from the user. Said another way, if multiple sources return results but only one of those sources has the highest priority value (and it returned only one result) then that package will be used rather than giving a "multiple packages were found" error. This has been applied to both winget CLI and PowerShell module commands. REST result match criteria update Along with the source priority change, the results from REST sources (like msstore ) now attempt to correctly set the match criteria that factor into the result ordering. This will prevent them from being sorted to the top automatically. Preserve installer arguments across export and import winget export now captures the --override and --custom arguments that were used when a package was originally installed and saves them into the export file. When subsequently running winget import , those values are automatically re-applied during installation — --override replaces all installer arguments and --custom appends extra switches — so packages can be reinstalled with the same customizations without any manual intervention. Both fields are optional and independent of each other; packages without stored installer arguments are unaffected. --no-progress flag Added a new --no-progress command-line flag that disables all progress reporting (progress bars and spinners). This flag is universally available on all commands and takes precedence over the visual.progressBar setting. Useful for automation scenarios or when running WinGet in environments where progress output is undesirable. MCP upgrade support The WinGet MCP server's existing tools have been extended with new parameters to support upgrade scenarios: find-winget-packages now accepts an upgradeable parameter (default: false ). When set to true , it lists only installed packages that have available upgrades — equivalent to winget upgrade . The query parameter becomes optional in this mode, allowing it to filter results or be omitted to list all upgradeable packages. AI agents can use this to answer requests like "What apps can I update with WinGet?" install-winget-package now accepts an upgradeOnly parameter (default: false ). When set to true , it only upgrades an already-installed package and returns a clear error if the package is not installed (pointing to install-winget-package without upgradeOnly instead). AI agents can use this to answer requests like "Update WinGetCreate" or, in combination with find-winget-packages with upgradeable=true , "Update all my apps." Authenticated GitHub API requests in PowerShell module The PowerShell module now automatically uses GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN environment variables to authenticate GitHub API requests. This significantly increases the GitHub API rate limit, preventing failures in CI/CD pipelines. Use -Verbose to see which token is being used. Default priority of installer types Installer type selection no longer depends on the order defined on the manifest. Instead, preference is given in this order: MSI / Wix / Burn Nullsoft / Inno / EXE When a user configures installer type requirements or preferences, the order in which they are listed is now respected during installer selection. Improved list output when redirected winget list (and similar table commands) no longer truncates output when stdout is redirected to a file or variable — column widths are now computed from the full result set. Spinner and progress bar output are suppressed when no console is attached, keeping redirected output clean. Log file naming strategy Added a user setting ( logging.fileNameStrategy ) for controlling the default naming strategy for installer log files. Supported values are manifest (default), timestamp , guid , and shortguid . Only applies to logs generated by installers if the installer itself supports the logging switch / parameter. Sortable list output winget list now supports sorting results via --sort <field> (repeatable for multi-field sorting), --ascending / --descending direction flags, and a persistent output.sortOrder setting. Available sort fields: name , id , version , source , available , relevance . By default, results are sorted alphabetically by name when no query is present; use --sort relevance to preserve the previous source-determined ordering. winget export now works when the destination path is a hidden file Fixed the useLatest property in the DSC v3 Microsoft.WinGet/Package resource schema to emit a boolean default ( false ) instead of the incorrect string "false" . SignFile in WinGetSourceCreator now supports an optional RFC 3161 timestamp server via the new TimestampServer property on the Signature model. When set, signtool.exe is called with /tr <url> /td sha256 , embedding a countersignature timestamp so that signed packages remain valid after the signing certificate expires. File and directory paths passed to signtool.exe and makeappx.exe are now quoted, fixing failures when paths contain spaces. DSC export now correctly exports WinGet Admin Settings winget validate now performs case-insensitive comparison for file extensions where applicable winget source reset now properly resets default sources instead of removing them DSC v3 Microsoft.WinGet/Package resource now honors the installMode property to use silent or interactive installer switches as specified Fixed a crash ( 0x8000ffff ) when using --disable-interactivity with the Resume experimental feature enabled during install operations.

No results found This is a preview build of WinGet for those interested in trying out upcoming features and fixes. While it has had some use and should be free of major issues, it may have bugs or usability problems. If you find any, please help us out by filing an issue . Experimental under sourcePriority ; defaulted to disabled. With this feature, one can assign a numerical priority to sources when added or later through the source edit command. Sources with higher priority are sorted first in the list of sources, which results in them getting put first in the results if other things are equal. Search result ordering in winget is currently based on these values in this order: Match quality (how well a valid field matches the search request) Match field (which field was matched against the search request) Source order (was always relevant, but with priority you can more easily affect this) Beyond the ability to slightly affect the result ordering, commands that primarily target available packages (largely install ) will now prefer to use a single result from a source with higher priority rather than prompting for disambiguation from the user. Said another way, if multiple sources return results but only one of those sources has the highest priority value (and it returned only one result) then that package will be used rather than giving a "multiple packages were found" error. This has been applied to both winget CLI and PowerShell module commands. REST result match criteria update Along with the source priority change, the results from REST sources (like msstore ) now attempt to correctly set the match criteria that factor into the result ordering. This will prevent them from being sorted to the top automatically. Preserve installer arguments across export and import winget export now captures the --override and --custom arguments that were used when a package was originally installed and saves them into the export file. When subsequently running winget import , those values are automatically re-applied during installation — --override replaces all installer arguments and --custom appends extra switches — so packages can be reinstalled with the same customizations without any manual intervention. Both fields are optional and independent of each other; packages without stored installer arguments are unaffected. --no-progress flag Added a new --no-progress command-line flag that disables all progress reporting (progress bars and spinners). This flag is universally available on all commands and takes precedence over the visual.progressBar setting. Useful for automation scenarios or when running WinGet in environments where progress output is undesirable. MCP upgrade support The WinGet MCP server's existing tools have been extended with new parameters to support upgrade scenarios: find-winget-packages now accepts an upgradeable parameter (default: false ). When set to true , it lists only installed packages that have available upgrades — equivalent to winget upgrade . The query parameter becomes optional in this mode, allowing it to filter results or be omitted to list all upgradeable packages. AI agents can use this to answer requests like "What apps can I update with WinGet?" install-winget-package now accepts an upgradeOnly parameter (default: false ). When set to true , it only upgrades an already-installed package and returns a clear error if the package is not installed (pointing to install-winget-package without upgradeOnly instead). AI agents can use this to answer requests like "Update WinGetCreate" or, in combination with find-winget-packages with upgradeable=true , "Update all my apps." Authenticated GitHub API requests in PowerShell module The PowerShell module now automatically uses GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN environment variables to authenticate GitHub API requests. This significantly increases the GitHub API rate limit, preventing failures in CI/CD pipelines. Use -Verbose to see which token is being used. Improved list output when redirected winget list (and similar table commands) no longer truncates output when stdout is redirected to a file or variable — column widths are now computed from the full result set. Spinner and progress bar output are suppressed when no console is attached, keeping redirected output clean. winget export now works when the destination path is a hidden file Fixed the useLatest property in the DSC v3 Microsoft.WinGet/Package resource schema to emit a boolean default ( false ) instead of the incorrect string "false" . SignFile in WinGetSourceCreator now supports an optional RFC 3161 timestamp server via the new TimestampServer property on the Signature model. When set, signtool.exe is called with /tr <url> /td sha256 , embedding a countersignature timestamp so that signed packages remain valid after the signing certificate expires. File and directory paths passed to signtool.exe and makeappx.exe are now quoted, fixing failures when paths contain spaces.
