For long, Ninite has been a go-to service for many users who want to bulk install Windows 10 apps. And frankly speaking, it works like a charm. That said, there is a cool new project in town called Winstall which is developed by Mehedi Hassan and it’s as seamless as Ninite. Winstall takes advantage of the new Winget package manager, recently released by Microsoft. Apart from that, Winstall also offers a cool way to share your favorite Windows 10 apps which is amazing. So to bulk install Windows 10 apps with Winstall, follow along.
As Winstall uses Winget, you need to install the package manager first. And for that, your PC should be on Windows 10 1709 (build 16299) or later build. Below, we show you how to install Winget first and then you can bulk install Windows 10 apps using Winstall. So without further ado, let’s begin.
After that, double-click on the appxbundle and install it. As I have already installed the service, it’s asking me to reinstall the service.
Open Command Prompt or the new Windows Terminal and paste the command. Finally, hit enter and Winget will start installing all the apps from Microsoft’s repository at once. No need to go through all the setup hoopla of each app. That’s pretty cool, right?
Quickly Set Up a Windows 10 PC with Winstall
So that is how you can bulk install Windows 10 apps and set up a new PC within minutes. As I mentioned above, Ninite is great, but Winstall opens a new avenue (competition is good!) that is frictionless and offers a cool option to share your favorite apps through Packs. I am certainly looking forward to how this project will shape up in the future. Anyway, that is all from us. If you are looking for more such Windows 10 tips and tricks then follow our linked guide.
