Winget-Install VS winget-create

Chrome auto update requires it to be open to periodically check. Honestly I’m not sure if Edge is the same. I would personally use winget to install the later version over the top - at my place we leverage this: https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-Install

I specifically use winget using a couple scripts based off this guys GitHub. Highly highly recommend this. https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-Install

For that you can just use a Winget install Script https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-Install

Yes, Check out this.. Great solution that includes autoupdate and install for System context as well. https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-Install

I can recommend this https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-Install. He also created an app for Winget autoupdate apps at logon.

This workflow uses Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator to update and submit a new version of a package manifest

Yes, any installer (MSIX, MSI, EXE) may be added (https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs). There is even a new tool the Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator (https://github.com/microsoft/winget-create) to make it easier to build a manifest and submit it to the GitHub repository. Portable / Stanalone .exe files and .zip files aren't supported yet, but they are on the backlog.

You can also add your programs or packages by executing winget install wingetcreate to install the Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator. Once the tool has been installed, execute wingetcreate new provide the URL to the installer. Then the tool will download the installer, parse it to determine any of the manifest values available in the installer, and guide you through the process to generate a valid manifest. If you provide your GitHub credentials when prompted, it will even fork the repository, create a new branch, submit a pull request, and provide you the URL to track its progress.
