How to Update Applications on Windows 10/11 Using Winget

 The cool thing about Winget is that besides being able to install applications easily via Windows Terminal, we can also update applications by relying on simple commands, and of course in my opinion this step is faster than the manual method which must go through several clicks first.

So how to update applications in Windows 10 or 11 using Winget, it's easy, here WinPoin summarizes the short steps.

First, please open Windows Terminal or Command Prompt, here I will use Command Prompt only.

 

 

Next, you can enter the following command to check which apps have new versions available. 

winget upgrade

 

 

 Well just like in the picture above, you can see that there are about 27 updates available on my device, to update them all you can use the following command: 

winget upgrade -h --all

Now with this command, all applications available for update will be updated at once, of course the method is the same as we install applications with winget, where the app installer for each application will appear manually.

What if you want to update just one application, the method itself is very easy, where you only need to enter the following simple command: 

winget upgrade -h --id APP-ID

For example, here I will update the winrar application, then the command I enter is : 

 

winget upgrade -h --id RARLab.WinRAR

 

 

 Then the download process will run, and then you just have to follow the commands that the winget or app installer asks for, such as confirming User Account Control or the like. 

Well it's easy, please try it guys, by the way, this step also applies not only to Windows 10, but also Windows 11, so please try it.
