How to Use UniGetUI
Search, install, update, remove and back up your Windows software — the four screens you will use and the shortcuts worth learning.
The Four Screens
UniGetUI is organised around four tabs: Discover, Software Updates, Installed Packages and Package Bundles. Almost every task starts in one of them, and everything you do is written to the operation log with the underlying manager's output attached.
Because the app is a front end, a job that fails here would have failed on the command line too. The log tells you which manager reported the problem, which usually points straight at the fix.
Everyday Tasks
Install an App
Search in Discover, check the source and version, then install. Multiple selections queue up and run in order.
Update Everything
Software Updates lists outdated packages from every manager; select all, or skip a version you do not want yet.
Remove Software
Installed Packages uninstalls single apps or a whole selection, using each manager's own uninstall routine.
Save a Bundle
Export your selection to a file, then import it on another PC to reinstall the same set of apps.
Choose a Source
When the same app exists in WinGet and Chocolatey, pick whichever one keeps its version more current.
Read the Log
Every operation stores the manager's output, which is the quickest way to understand a failed install.
A Sensible Routine
How regular users keep a Windows machine tidy with UniGetUI.
Weekly
Open Software Updates, review what changed, and update the apps you rely on.
After a Rebuild
Import your bundle and let the queue reinstall everything unattended.
Now and Then
Skim Installed Packages and remove software you have stopped using.
Update Everything From One Screen
winget upgrade --all --include-unknown
The same result the graphical Software Updates tab produces — handy inside a script.
