Microsoft has released the first stable version of the native Winget Windows 10 package manager that helps you manage applications directly from the command line.
Microsoft first announced the first preview version of its Windows 10 package manager at Microsoft Build 2020 and has developed it as an open-source project on GitHub since then.
Today, at Microsoft Build 2021, the company announced Windows Package Manager 1.0, the package manager's first stable release after a year of development.
Microsoft provides multiple ways to install the stable version of the Windows 10 package manager.
Windows 10 Insiders and those who have already signed up for the Windows Package Manager Insider group may already have it automatically installed on their systems.
Windows Package Manager 1.0 will soon be delivered as an automatic update through the Microsoft Store on all devices running Windows 10, version 1809 or later.
