The app and subsequent updates must be installed manually, as the program doesn’t have automatic updates.

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

Use chocolatey. It takes the headache out of a large part of running Windows.
