BRB updating 7zip on my Windows partitions real quick. Since apparently automatic updates for 7zip aren't a thing, I bet they've never been updated on my machines ever since initially installing it with Ninite
I bet ninite gave you an update when you ran the installer app again.
Otherwise, can I speak to you about our Lord and Savior Chocolatey?
choco updateshould do it (I fumble here - I use a config management app to manage my wife's desktop)You're probably wanting
choco upgrade 7zip --confirmTo be fair apps checking for updates is a stupid backwards thing from Windows, where you'd install manually random packages from random sources.
Checking for updates is the job of your package manager, and in any reasonable system that should be enough
Use chocolatey. It takes the headache out of a large part of running Windows.
I don't use Windows these days but don't they have winget?
Some versions of Windows do!
