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:
- Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell as administrator.
- Type the following command to update all apps:
winget upgrade
- 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.
