What is Windows Package Manager (winget)?

If you're new to the Windows Package Manager, it's beneficial to explore what this tool has to offer. Users can access a variety of packages through the Windows Package Manager Community Repository. The client is designed to work with Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763) and later versions. Unfortunately, Windows Server 2019 does not receive support due to its lack of Microsoft Store access and the necessary updated dependencies. Although there is a chance to install it on Windows Server 2022, this option should be treated as experimental since it doesn’t have official support, and users must manage dependency installation on their own. Therefore, it’s important for users to be cautious and thoroughly assess the risks before attempting to use the package manager in unsupported environments. Understanding these limitations can help ensure a smoother experience with the tool.
