About this tag
UniGetUI is an open-source graphical front end for Windows package managers including WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop, Pip, npm, and .NET Tool. Recent releases covered here focus on performance and reliability, with version 2026.2.3 making NativeAOT the default build to cut GPU and memory use and speed startup. Later hotfixes repaired regressions affecting WinGet sources and PowerShell installs, while 2026.2.6 added CSV exports and fixes for WinGet update loops. The app migrated from WinUI to Avalonia, added Windows 11 Snap Layouts support, and improved logging. These updates matter for power users and administrators managing bulk package operations on Windows 10 and 11.
