MicrosoftHi Jason_Sandys ,
thanks again for your answer.
If winget cannot distinguish between Windows 10 and Windows 11 Apps/Downloads than you have a conceptional problem offering the right downloads for those Microsoft-Windows-InBox-Apps. As I explained several Windows-PreInstalled Microsoft-Store-serviced InBox-Apps are not the same for Win10 and Win11 ... and what winget currently offers seem to be for Win11 and not for Win10.
You try to tell me winget is not the successor for Microsoft Store for Business. But when I login to Microsoft Store for Business for Offline-Downloading the updates there is a popup which says the successor for providing offline packages is winget and points to this information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/microsoft-store/whats-new-microsoft-store-business-education
I don't need any licenses for "non-built-in-apps". I try to update all the preInstalled stuff like Calculator, Camera, SoundRecorder, Alarm and so on... All your Microsoft-Stuff which would otherwise outdate on a non-internet-connected machine.
Your last paragraph tells me you haven't understood the problem. Please provide the updated packages for all Windows-InBox-Apps. As I said, like Calculator, Camera, SoundRecorder, Alarm etc.... for Windows 10. Not for Windows 11, I need it for Windows 10.
Up to June this year this was possible by using Store for business.
Now (since beginning of July 2024) it is NOT possible anymore. Store for business is retired and the provided successor winget is NOT able to do this (only some Apps which are the same for Win10 and Win11 can be downloaded correctly, others aren't).
You tell me this is not the fault of winget. OK. But if it is the fault of the Package-Maintainers then tell them. Those are not independent Packages, those are Microsoft Windows InBox-App Packages. For me as a customer it doesn't matter whose fault this is.
Winget currently only provides working downloads for Windows 10 for SOME of this apps. I gave you an example WindowsAlarms where winget is NOT able to provide a working and current version for Windows 10. The only way of downloading the right file working for Windows 10 is a third-party-website. Why can a third-party-website provide me the right download-links using the store-catalog and winget cannot? So maybe you have another look at the problem and either fix winget or tell your package-maintainers of the InBox-App to fix the catalog.
And regarding Update-Files for now "paid Apps": Why can the third-party-website provide me the download, based on the store. And winget cannot? Your argument "is not possible / the store doesn't provide this" does not convince me.
