You probably know that Microsoft DSC intentionally left the enforcement part to other tools. Yet, there isn't one available... or is there?
OpenDSC project just had a boost a couple of weeks ago, and I tried the very first pull server for Microsoft DSC:

If you run `winget upgrade -?` the last line in the help output includes a link to the documentation.

All the switches are documented. I'd be happy to make it clearer if you have any suggestions. 🙂
Try `winget list PowerShell --details`. You might have more than one "installer" with different versions installed. The manifest now has the MSIX and the MSI installers for PowerShell. You can specify the "--installer-type". The error is indicating a mismatch between installer types.
I don't know what that package is, but you could add it with a PR or request someone to help with an Issue.

Worst case scenario in my mind is they could specify "Silent with progress" in their WinGet settings or pass an equivalent argument to the CLI to get the earlier behavior if we make the change.
I didn't have any, but that's why I posted the message in case anyone else knows something I don't about the scenario.
Technically a breaking change, but I'd like to see if it would be OK to do this in a minor version increment.
Let me know your thoughts. I really don't want to violate semantic versioning, but it might be worth it. Comment at:

I just thought I would share this:
UniGetUI enters its next chapter with Devolutions - Devolutions Blog: devolutions.net/blog/2026/03...
This sounds like an impedance mismatch between thinking and typing 😀
Let me know if you have any trouble with the GitHub workflow using wingetcreate to publish to the WinGet community repository.
The final output can inform you if a reboot is needed. We have an experimental Resume command designed to let WinGet pick up where it left off due to a reboot, but it's not finished.

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.
I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED
I got the inspiration from working at VMWare and helping automate their cloud infrastructure builds as well as a few other companies I worked at. Back then I was using a Mac as a daily driver. Over my career I've worked on most commercial OSs and lots of Linux and BSD variants.
Great way to kick off the holidays!
I presented on WinGet Configuration at Microsoft Ignite. For those of you working on WinGet Configuration files, you might be interested in an experimental tool we're working on.

Thanks @gijsreijn.bsky.social so much for all the help with WinGet Studio and all the support for WinGet!
Backward compatibility comes with cost. We're trying to make it easier with WinGet.
LOL! Almost made me spit out my coffee laughing. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

We've gotten a few reports of the .Net Tutorial's WinGet Configuration failing. I'd absolutely love it if someone could help us find what's breaking. I haven't been able to reproduce this one.

We're getting ready to cut a Release Candidate build of WinGet 1.12 with support for installing fonts...
Heads up IT Professionals.

We're getting closer with how WinGet is going to support managing fonts on Windows. We'll have a new source and a new GPO (Group Policy Object).
Happy and proud to see the community demos also published on YouTube for PSConfEU. I was the third in line, and you can see the "What's new in Microsoft DSC v3.1" at:

It passed all the required validation processes, so any one of our moderators could have approved it.
