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.
