Install Winget Using Powershell -

# Fetch the latest release info from GitHub $github = "https://api.github.com/repos/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/latest" $release = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $github $asset = $release.assets | Where-Object $_.name -like "*.msixbundle" Download and install Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $asset.browser_download_url -OutFile "$env:TEMP\winget.msixbundle" Add-AppxPackage -Path "$env:TEMP\winget.msixbundle"

So, how do we get it via PowerShell? Let’s walk through the two methods that actually work. Microsoft makes winget available through the Microsoft Store or via the official GitHub releases. This PowerShell script checks for the latest version and installs it silently. install winget using powershell

Microsoft maintains the aka.ms/getwinget redirect to always point to the latest stable version of the App Installer. Method 2: Manual Check & Install (No Download Guessing) If the one-liner fails (e.g., due to network restrictions), you can force-install the exact version from the official GitHub repository. # Fetch the latest release info from GitHub

# Download the latest App Installer package (which contains winget) $url = "https://aka.ms/getwinget" $output = "$env:TEMP\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller.msixbundle" Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $output Add-AppxPackage -Path $output This PowerShell script checks for the latest version
