winget — Windows Package Manager CLI In-Depth Reference

Comprehensive reference for winget, the Windows Package Manager command-line tool. Covers the command structure, source system, package manifests, install/upgrade/uninstall workflows, WinGet Configuration (DSC v3), settings, and package management operations.

Data Flow

winget command
  → parse global flags (--disable-interactivity, --verbose, --proxy, --no-proxy)
    → resolve sources (winget, msstore, user-added, REST, predefined Installed)
      → search across sources (CompositeSource aggregates results)
        → match package (PackageIdentifier, ProductCode, PackageFamilyName)
          → download installer → verify SHA256 → execute installer
            → record in Installed source (ARP registry + MSIX)

WinGet Configuration:
  winget configure -f file.winget
    → parse YAML (v2 or v3 schema)
      → download DSC modules (v2) / verify dscv3 processor (v3)
        → test each resource (is system in desired state?)
          → set resources not in desired state
            → report results (idempotent)
