In the ever-evolving landscape of software management, UniGetUI emerges as a beacon of simplicity for Windows users. This intuitive graphical user interface, previously known as WinGetUI, streamlines the process of managing applications through various Windows package managers, including Winget. Upon launching UniGetUI, users are greeted with a well-organized sidebar featuring options such as Discover Packages, Software Updates, and Installed Packages.
Discover packages with UniGetUI
Within the Discover Packages section, users can easily search for new programs using either the prominent central search bar or the smaller one located at the top right. Installing applications is as simple as right-clicking on the desired program and selecting Install. It is advisable to focus on entries labeled WinGet: winget, as these represent the most reliable versions. For those looking to install multiple programs simultaneously, the option to select multiple checkboxes followed by clicking the Install selected packages button allows for a seamless installation experience without the usual prompts.
Software updates with UniGetUI
Transitioning to the Software Updates section, users will find a comprehensive list of all installed programs that have available updates. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who prefer to maintain their software in peak condition. By default, all updates are pre-selected, encouraging users to proceed with updates unless there is a compelling reason to skip a particular one, such as known issues with specific updates.
Installed packages in UniGetUI
The Installed Packages section provides an overview of nearly all software currently on the system, including pre-installed applications that come with Windows. UniGetUI enhances user control by offering options for uninstalling or reinstalling software directly from the context menu, which appears upon right-clicking an application. This includes even the Microsoft Edge browser, which can now be removed if desired.
