WingetUI should be on Windows 11 by default, users agree

WingetUI Graphical Interface is an open-source graphical UI for various operating systems, including Windows 11. The app lets you install, update and uninstall packages from Winget, including Microsoft Store.

Even more, WingetUI can even detect if your applications need to be updated and updates them. This also includes your manually-installed apps. While there are several apps that you can use to customize your Windows 11, including making it easier to install and uninstall programs, WingetUI is a small app that can be used intuitively and fairly easily.

The app is meant for IT managers and computer lovers and allows them to quickly update apps, and manage them altogether. And many users think that WingetUI Graphical Interface should be on Windows 11 by default.

Microsoft should include WingetUI Graphical Interface by default (pre-installed) with all Windows 11 Editions. Much better than Microsoft Store.

Should WingetUI Graphical Interface be on Windows 11 by default?

While Microsoft Store is doing a good job at managing apps, its interface can sometimes be a bit hard to follow. Many users agree, WingetUI Graphical Interface should be installed on Windows 11 by default. It shouldn’t replace anything, but at least it should come on Windows 11 as a pre-installed app, users agree.

Microsoft should include WingetUI Graphical Interface by default (pre-installed) with all Windows 11 Editions.

I agree this would be nice. I feel like it’s where Microsoft is probably eventually headed. For now I’m just really happy to have a built in package manager at all.

However, some agree that Microsoft Store is more intuitive and user-friendly, compared to WingetUI.

This app is very techy, and the normal user would be confused. The Store has images, descriptions and scores to help the user understand the app they’re trying to download.

Others think that it really doesn’t matter, as Windows users are free to download software from anywhere.

I agree, but the Store isn’t the primary way users install programs anyway so I don’t think winget as an alternate repository will change that.

Meanwhile, if you’re thinking about downloading and installing WingetUI Graphical Interface, you should know that Microsoft releases security updates for this app.
