How to Update Windows 10 Apps Without the Store?

Published in Windows Apps 1 min read

You can update Windows 10 apps without using the Microsoft Store by utilizing the Windows Package Manager (winget). This command-line tool allows you to manage and update apps directly.

Here's how to update apps using winget:

  1. Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell as administrator.
  2. Type the following command to update all apps:
     winget upgrade
  3. To update a specific app, use the following command, replacing "app_name" with the actual app name:
     winget upgrade --id app_name

For example, to update the "Microsoft Edge" app, you would use the command:

winget upgrade --id Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge

Note: winget might require additional configuration or setup depending on your environment.
