We know it isn't perfect and are working on improving it little by little with a the fantastic community support as well. We're enabling experiences and solutions as fast as we can partner / update / create them. Long story short, trust us, we're working on it, only so many hours in the day and we all have lives outside work. It is a big work item but will enable some great experiences and improve both the developer and end user experience with the installer drastically. If memory serves, this will touch 4 major subsystems, new exe and introduce a new user interaction dialog. Doing it will simplify a lot of stuff and remove the UAC dialog on install/update. #10126 is the large work item to enable us to do easier updates. We know people want auto-update and are working toward a sustainable solution based on how PowerToys needs to interact with the shell as well as develop/debug/test. In most scenarios, MSIX is a great bit of tech and highly recommend it being the first spot most people look for packaging/installer tech. Feedback was provided to the MSIX packaging team. With some of the shell integration PowerToys does, if we auto-updated, it is an extremely disruptive with manual interaction needed.īack Jan 2020, we did try and do a MSIX installer version of PowerToys and we hit certain issues that were deemed too disruptive to the PowerToys experience based on feedback from the MSIX test and how we'd have to develop, debug and test. We have work we're doing on our installer to basically make it so we can do auto-updating in 0.51 iteration.
