Fucking Windows Store AppxPackages... they dont update right if you're using multiple users (like say, an admin account from tech support that signed in ONCE and never signed in again) and get computers dinged for vulnerabilities.

There's a 'package manager' on Windows called winget, except that it is not a package manager, but a program which downloads application installers and tries to run them in the background. It is also filled with annoying bugs, such as:

  • Some apps can't be updated, because they throw an error for one reason or another;
  • Some apps update to the same version that is installed, because the version of the installed app wasn't changed by the developer;
  • Some apps seem not to be listed at all, so they can't be updated through winget;
  • Some other shit I don't remember right now.
