THE MICROSFT STORE IS NOTHING LIKE THE PLAY STORE OR THE APP STORE. HOWEVER, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD SOME APPS FROM IT BUT UPDATING THEM IS ANOTHER ISSUE. SOME PACKAGE MANAGERS LIKE WINGET SCOOP CHOCOLATELY ARE USEFUL ALTERNATIVES BUT THERE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. LUCKILY, WE HAVE UNIGETUI WHICH IS A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR ALL THOSE PACKAGE MANAGERS IN ONE PLACE. KIND OF AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE MICROSOFT STORE WHICH ACTUALLY WORKS AND UPDATES MOST OF YOUR APPS. ENJOY!

00:00All right, what's up Amayyan and in this video we are going to be talking about
00:03Uniget UI which is formerly known as Winget UI and this has very pretty cool
00:09features. This is the package manager for all the package managers like Winget,
00:14Scoop, Chocolaty and others and also it is a very useful and a must-have
00:20application. First of all the Microsoft Store is very broken. You can download
00:27lots of stuff but it is never gets you all the updates. So that is where the
00:33Uniget UI comes into existence. The main feature of this app is that it can help
00:41you install lots of applications and also it can also keep them up to date. It is
00:47as the most basic functionality of this app is that it is open source which means
00:53it is very free to use. You can keep all of your apps, deep load your PC, import and
00:58export packages which means you can export your packages and import on another
01:03computer and install all of those apps that you regularly use. Anyway those
01:08features are advanced so you can need to check it yourself. In this video I am
01:15only going to be showing about how you can install packages and update them which
01:19is most what I use Uniget for. First of all go to this page I will provide the link in
01:25the description and download the you can download either one this is just a
01:29change of the name. So I am going with the first one which is Uniget UI.
01:35Let's wait for the installer to download and get on with the installation process.
01:45Let's open up the installer and install for all users which is the recommended one. Say
01:51yes to the prompt and click next next and check all these boxes which are pre-checked
01:56and hit install. Now let's wait for the installer to install this graphical user
02:01interface for all those Winget, ChocolityScoop and others Packet Managers and hit finish.
02:11Keep in mind that you can use these package managers using PowerShell but
02:15graphical user interface is very well optimized for those people who do not
02:20know what they are doing. Okay so this is the first page which is the software
02:26updates. This will check all the apps that I have installed and I have already
02:31used this app and updated all my software but still I am going to show you how you
02:36can use them. So all your updates come here in the software updates. Here you
02:41can search for packages which means you can download other apps. Here are all the
02:47apps that are pre-installed on my laptop which I did by myself and some came with
02:54the windows. Very fun right? Okay so these are the sources of these apps which some are from the
03:04locally installed some come from others sources. This is the settings of this
03:10app you can you choose which use which packet managers that you want to use but I
03:17always keep all of them checked on so you can update from all the sources. Here we
03:23need to check for updates. Let's see if there are updates available. No we have
03:26downloaded the latest version and all the settings are right here. This is the user
03:32preference notifications. We never want notifications so I always keep keep it
03:37off. Installed and updates and other administrative privileges preferences. Okay
03:46let's move on and let me show you how you can download packages. So this is the
03:51update section. You can click on this button it will search for updates. Kind of
03:57like the App Store for Windows. Microsoft Store does not give you updates which I
04:02have noticed a lot of the time. For example if you want to search for Google
04:06Chrome this is not available on Microsoft Store. However it will never update OBS
04:12Studio on Microsoft Store. I don't know why but that's a problem. You can see we
04:17have Google Chrome right here and now you can download Google Chrome right from
04:22Wingate UI. You do not have to browse other websites or download deal with ads or
04:28Google things like that. You can just simply search your application right here. Kind of
04:34like an App Store for Google Play Store for Windows. Okay let's see we need to
04:40download OBS Studio. If I download OBS Studio from Microsoft Store it gives me an
04:45older version of OBS Studio and I have to update it manually again but right from
04:50here I get the latest and most up-to-date version of OBS Studio and also some other
04:57associated packages but you have to keep in mind what you are looking for. Package
05:02ID is kind of the important step right from here. If you notice the package ID is
05:08from an official source you can pretty much download from that. Okay so what are
05:14we going to do now? Let's see we need to search first. Let's say I am going to use
05:19Brave. Brave is also available on Microsoft Store but that is not up-to-date.
05:26If something is wrong with Microsoft Store that you have to update all the apps you
05:30have to download from Microsoft Store and update them later manually but well
05:36instead of Microsoft Store I recommend using this one because it is up-to-date and
05:40it does not come with any bloatware. Actually it helps you to uninstall bloatware as well.
05:47So let's see if we are going for searching Instagram. Instagram is kind of like
05:53closed source you can download Instagram only from their Microsoft Store. This is
06:00some official stuff between Meta and Microsoft so that is why some apps might
06:06not be available from there but most of the apps that everyone or usually anyone
06:11uses on their PC is also available on this Uniget UI. Either Chocolatey, Winget or
06:19other package managers. Let me demonstrate how we are going to install
06:24Google Chrome for this. Simply search for Google Chrome here it gives you an
06:28option to install. This is the terminal version which means you have to copy this
06:34everything and put it in terminal to install but this is done automatically.
06:39Anyway that's been it. Thanks for watching and I will catch you guys in the next one.
06:43Take care. Bye bye.
