What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A small command-line tool that automates upgrading npm on Windows, handling the manual PowerShell/CMD path steps normally required. It lists available npm versions and installs the chosen one from an elevated PowerShell.

Use cases

  • upgrade npm on windows
  • fix npm not updating on windows
  • install specific npm version on windows
  • downgrade npm on windows
  • automate npm upgrade in powershell

When to choose

  • you're on Windows and npm's built-in updater fails or requires manual path fixes
  • you need to pin or downgrade to a specific npm version on Windows

When to avoid

  • you're on macOS or Linux where npm self-updates normally
  • you need a maintained tool - the project hasn't seen active development since 2021
  • you're already on a modern Node.js installer that manages npm updates
