Windows Package Manager 1.11.430 has been released as a servicing update for the 1.11 version compatible with Windows 10 (from version 1809) and Windows 11. This update introduces significant changes, including the removal of support for 32-bit ARM architecture and the integration of Microsoft Desired State Configuration (DSC) v3. Users can now export their device configurations, which encompass Windows settings, packages from configured WinGet sources, and package settings from DSC v3 enabled packages.
Additionally, the update introduces experimental support for managing fonts through the command line, allowing users to list installed font families and their respective font faces.
The update also addresses several issues, including a crash that some users experienced due to a missing compilation flag and a bug related to the OS architecture detection in the Repair cmdlet, which impeded the installation of dependencies.
In terms of development updates, various improvements have been made, such as using the latest Windows agents in the localization pipeline and adding missing compilation flags for vcpkg ports.
Overall, Windows Package Manager 1.11.430 aims to enhance user experience and improve functionality with these updates.
Looking ahead, future versions of the Windows Package Manager may continue to expand on experimental features, potentially incorporating additional support for new types of software installations and configurations. The community-driven development approach suggests that user feedback could play a significant role in shaping the direction of subsequent updates. As the needs of developers and end-users evolve, we can expect ongoing enhancements that prioritize stability, usability, and broader compatibility across various systems
