I learned this today. If you open a command prompt as an administrator and enter winget upgrade it will list all apps that have an upgrade.
You can then enter winget upgrade --all it will update them all..
To update just one on the list use winget upgrade -h --id "app-id" like winget upgrade -h --id GlavSoft.TightVNC
C:\Windows\system32>winget upgrade

That's cool. It's about time Windows caught up with Linux with a packaging manager.
I once used Chocolaty, same concept but third party. It was pretty good. One dayI realised that I use more online services than software on my computer so I stopped using it
View all Windows Settings in one screen in GodMode.
1. Create a new folder on the desktop.
2. Rename the folder to GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
3. Once saved the folder icon will change.
4. Double click the folder and all the Windows setting appear.

That was pretty impressive!
I'm not sure that I'd use it but still pretty cool :)
I tried your first one too and that worked well!
I'll probably forget all this by next week. :jester:
The reason I post it so I can come back to remember how to do it. Like screenshot by pressing Win-Shift-S keys.
Tried this out, pretty cool hacks.
Regards
I like the godmode, very handy.
Have a bunch of windows open and want to get to the desktop. Press the WIN + m and all the windows will close. OR press the curser on the bottom right of the screen right in the corner, under the down error of the browser, there is a hidden button.
Another hack/trick that I use when setting up old PCs for sale, is to hit the Left "Windows" key + X
The Windows key is down next to the Alt key next to the space bar.
This combination opens up a menu where you can select common system apps like "Device Manager" and "Disk Management. THere are other apps in the menu as well.

Did not know that about the desktop button, :thanks1: You dont know how many times I've needed that and didnt know it existed.
