How to really update your Windows install (Win 10 or newer)

[Okedokey]

Windows update is ok, winget is much better.

You need to be on Windows 10 or 11 (and attow an Insider), but, WinGet is far far superior.

Open a windows terminal (Powershell or similar) as an Admin. Type:

winget upgrade --all

Boom, you'll get additional updates; add the above switch to auto upgrade and install.

If you have issues, look here and here.
