Winget ships with two configured repos: msstore and winget - what are the key differences between these repos as there appears to be some overlap, i.e. we see some "unofficial" apps, i.e. not maintained by the actual vendor in the msstore repo, but also official looking apps in the winget repo.
I'm aware that the Intune integration pulls in a subset of apps from the msstore repo only, but from the command line it appears possible to install from either and there's a confusing overlap between them.
Thanks for participating in today's session of AMA: Microsoft Store and Windows app management! For reference, the panel covered this topic at around 02:00.
- Some vendors have both UWP (store) apps and their traditional x86/64 apps. There are a lot of things in the Store that aren't in winget catalog, and vice-versa. I like the option to choose from and I do totally understand the user-space only nature of Store apps: however, it seems like winget _should_ be able to scan the entire system, incl each userspace, and update/install apps as needed. It should DEFINITELY have the ability to perform system-wide actions from the catalog context, even if not from the Store app context.
