About WinGet Studio

A Windows desktop front end for winget. Everything happens in one table with checkboxes:
update what has a newer version, install something new by searching as you type, list and
uninstall what is already there, pin what must not be touched, and export or import the whole
package list to rebuild a machine.

Light and dark theme, no telemetry. Installs for all users with a Start menu entry and
uninstalls from Windows Settings. Requires administrator rights, which it asks for at startup.

What's new in 1.12.0

If winget is missing, WinGet Studio now offers to install it, and Settings shows the App
Installer version, with an update button where the Microsoft Store does not update it.
Per-user programs that winget refused to uninstall from an elevated app are now retried
without elevation. Every message and confirmation follows the light or dark theme. The
automatic update check at startup works again.
