Hi all.
Firstly I noticed winget was trying to update a package I had already got at the latest version winamp.
The issue was for some reason it wouldn’t execute the installer because something else was using it, probably itself.
If you do winget pin add packagename.vendor in this case winamp, you will exclude the package from being upgraded in your –upgrade all list.
This can be used for things like newer versions breaking things or the manager unable to load whatever it is for whatever reason.
In this case winamp is the latest version but winget choaks on trying to load it but its not needed.
To be honest if winget gives me to much trouble on something I can download I’ll just exclude the package but lets hope I don’t have to do that to often.
I assume that the add command can be substituted with remove to do the oposite but why I’d actually do that now I added that package to the list is beyond me.
One thing is for sure I will always exclude stuff that screws up in the database and then manually get it later if needed.
Next are the updates, chrome got updated.
You know what that means for edge so I won’t rewrite.
Next the firefox 156 build released after 6 betas and now thunderbird is also out.
Remember to make sure you have latest drivers, aparently windows is still downgrading graphics drivers on systems but its only 1 system in the family.
Laters all.
