Upgrading Windows apps using Winget is a straightforward process. Winget is a command-line package manager introduced by Microsoft that allows you to install, update, and manage software packages on your Windows system. Here are the steps to upgrade Windows apps using Winget:

Open Command Prompt or PowerShell:

Press Win + X and select either "Command Prompt" or "Windows PowerShell" from the menu. Make sure you run the command prompt or PowerShell as an administrator.

Check for Available Updates:

To see a list of installed apps that have available updates, run the following command:

Winget upgrade (it will process a list of outdated apps that need to be updated)

Upgrade an App:

Once you identify the app you want to upgrade from the list, use the following command to upgrade it:

Winget upgrade <app id>     (it will install a particular app using the app id displayed when you type the command Winget upgrade)

--- To install all the app listed when you type Winget upgrade, use the following command.

Winget upgrade --All   (this will upgrade all the listed apps one after another without your input)

After you run the upgrade command, Winget will show you information about the app being upgraded, including the new version number and download size. Confirm the upgrade by typing Y and pressing Enter. Winget will then proceed to download and install the updated version of the app.

Verify the Upgrade:

Once the upgrade process is complete, you can verify that the app has been successfully upgraded by running the Winget upgrade command again. If no app appears in the list, it means it's now up to date.
