      winget is actually smart enough to manage stuff installed outside of it, but that still requires users to actually use winget to begin with.

        Can’t you not use those unless you have admin rights on your PC which the vast majority of corporations (rightly) don’t give.

          Right, it’s the end-users responsibility to update software in a corporate environment is it?

          Scoop, by default deploys in ~\Scoop, and works in 95% of cases with a regular user.

          Then the corporations are the ones on the hook to to update it. shrug

      Winget exists, but I believe it has to be manually setup, and manually used.

      It’s been a while since I used Windows in general, so my knowledge is a bit outdated/rusty.

        Manually triggered, yes. Manually setup, no - it’s already a part of Winblows 11.

      I like https://ruckzuck.tools/

      It has a section for updating and then a section for exploring for new programs that’s relatively sanely sorted.
