We are thrilled to announce the Windows Package Manager preview!
If you’re already familiar with what a package manager is, feel free to skip this paragraph. If you’re still reading, you’re going to love this! A package manager is designed to help you save time and frustration. Essentially, it is a set of software tools that help you automate the process of getting software on your machine. You specify which apps you want installed, and it does the work of finding the latest version (or the exact one you specified) and installing it on your machine.
Just about every developer has wanted a native package manager in Windows. That day is finally here. You are going to be able to winget install your way to bliss. One of the best parts is that it is open source. I had to pinch myself when I was able to winget install terminal, and then winget install powershell, and then winget install powertoys. You get the idea, and If you do not see an app you use, just create a new manifest, and submit a pull request.

I’ve spent some time over the last few days getting my Windows Terminal setup in order. Hopefull you saw my recent post about backing up my settings.json file. I’ve also put together a few other simple PowerShell scripts that I use to make Windows Terminal even easier to use and manage.
Windows Terminal uses a defaults.json file that you can override with your own settings.json. Or put another way, the files are essentially merged with settings.json “winning” any conflicts. My challenge was wanting to know what is in the defaults file, especially with regards to keybindings. I wrote this very short script to launch the file.

When I need to troubleshoot a problem in Windows, the first things I ask my customer to provide are a Process Monitor trace and a network trace. Process Monitor is the second most downloaded tool from the Sysinternals toolkit. You can download it as part of the Sysinternals Suite. Sometimes you don't have access to the computer to run the tool interactively, or you don't want the end user seeing Procmon running on the computer. In the next post, I will show how you can acquire a Process Monitor trace from a remote computer.
