Why not use winget or chocolatey instead? They allow for auto updates and have much wider library. Winget can even pull from msstore if necessary. There's even a convenient WingetUI that consolidates them and others (winget, choco, scoop, npm, .net, pip, etc.) to a single app manager.

I already mentioned that I am. My only issue with winget is that it doesn't update automatically, you need to do it manually and the list of updates includes a lot of apps that you didn't install through winget sometimes so it becomes a pain to exclude some apps. Winget UI seems interesting but I personally find it quite ugly.
