Install Winget Json

(Dont mind the preview text)
If you see a button in the middle called "Install Winget Json" just press it. What it does is
it takes the file called "winget-export.json" from GitHub and downloads it locally. Why?

Because the program installs Winget programs using the json file as a list of programs to download.
If you want to install custom programs there is a "Edit Winget Software" Button that opens up notepad so you can change the programs to fit your needs

Where are the downloaded files located?

Well it really depends if you downloaded the script or using the link. If you downloaded the script the json file will be in the same directory as the script but,
If you use the link it will be located in system32. Because when you launch PowerShell as admin the default location is system32

Why does it crash?

It might be because you are running a Preview build / Pre-Release build. For the average user, just stick to the Release
To check your version there should be a Version Text in the right corner of the program, Make sure you are running Release and not Preview

Windows 10

Does it work on Windows 10? Yes. Works Perfectly. If you don't see the upgrades go away in regular windows update. Click the "Install Now" button and all upgrade should go away

Windows 11

Does it work on Windows 11? I have no clue, I do not have a Windows 11 Computer so, that i can't find out. That's up to you to try. But in theory it should work perfectly just like Windows 10

Is it faster than Regular Windows Update

I have tested both and it does look like my version if slightly faster. I didn't make this program to make it faster. But to upgrade multiple PC's faster
