Y'all,It says everything I need to know about an OS that it won't install software and that you need to configure a third-party PowerShell to get it right. I'm sticking with Mac OSX.
<<A recent article on the XDA developers' website offers a helpful gloss on one of the themes of this thread: the tedium of installing software on a new Windows 11 machine. The piece -- https://www.xda-developers.com/made-simple-script-install-all-apps-new-pc-using-winget-you-can-make-your-own/ -- provides a template for a PowerShell script that uses winget to automate the installation process. All that's required of the user is to edit the template to include the package ID for each app you want the script to install. You can obtain the package IDs of your installed software with the "winget list" command, but a cleaner, more readable listing can be obtained by exporting the package names to a .json file with a command like:
winget export -o d:\path\MyApps.json --accept-source-agreementsAdjust the path and filename as desired; be sure to retain the .json extension. Read the .json file in any text editor.
Thanks for the heads-up anyway. <<MD FL>>
