Description

Brief description of your issue

I simply want to ensure that all machines in our domain have winget, the latest version. They all run windows 10 and have builds released within the last 6 months. But our users dont use the MS store. They do however use intune and any apps we approve and setup through there. I just want to know, but cant seem to find will they have winget installed. If not how can i distribute this through intune. I see a load of scripts online which seem ridiculously complicated for deploying a tool like this. Has there been any thought in this project to how it links to intune.

Lets say all our machines have it installed, how is it updated? Via windows updates, or does someone have to manually run soemthing. Basically i want to know from enterprise point of view how to manage and deploy this tool.

Start by reviewing the issue's enterprise questions about WinGet installation, updates, and deployment through Intune. Determine whether the project has an existing entry point or documentation for enterprise management; done would require a clearly scoped, maintainable change rather than a general deployment explanation.
