Winget-AutoUpdate (WAU) is a Windows application that uses the Winget package manager to automatically update installed apps daily in system context, with toast notifications to connected users. It supports allowlist/blocklist control, configurable update frequency, and is installed via an MSI.

Use cases

  • automatically keep all Windows apps up to date via winget
  • update apps as SYSTEM without user interaction
  • exclude specific apps from auto-updates with a blocklist
  • only auto-update a curated set of apps with an allowlist
  • notify users when app updates are installed
  • deploy managed app updates across Windows machines

When to choose

  • you manage Windows machines and want hands-off winget-based app updates
  • you need updates to run in system context with user notifications
  • you want allowlist/blocklist control over which apps get updated

When to avoid

  • you are not on Windows or don't use winget
  • you need per-user store app or non-winget package management
  • you require centralized fleet reporting rather than local updates
