Automating application install on a fresh Windows 10/11 using Microsoft Store and winget

FASIC

Fast and Automatic Software Install and Configuration (on Windows)

Need

Install my common apps on Windows as fast as possible and mostly automatically, after a reimaging or reset of my OS. Also change some settings on Windows, like disabling the bing search in the start menu.

How it works?

This PowerShell script uses Microsoft Store and winget to download and install a list of application, configured at the top of the file.

Microsoft store should be privilegied for apps with a real good desktop version, like PowerToys, VScode, etc. Avoid lights versions specific to the store, like VLC. That way, those apps will be automatically updated in the backend.

For all other apps, find them in the winget repo, for example online using https://winget.run/.

For apps that are not in either of these locations, there is a variable where URL and filenames can be listed, for a download only. You will have the opportunity to install manually these files lately.

Configuration

Update variables at the top of the file.

  • destFolderName: Configure where installers that cannot be automatically installed will be downloaded
  • DownloadOnlyAppList: Filenames and related download URLs to be gathered in the folder configured in "destFolderName"
  • storeAppListID: List of IDs and names of apps in Microsoft Store (tip, use the online web version and URL to get the info)
  • wingetAppList_base: List of winget apps to install
  • wingetAppList_poweruser: Secondary list of winget apps to install. Can be empty.

Setup_app_new_windows.ps1
# Last Update : 28/08/2024
# w00dbury inspired by LM1LC3NT
# Execute the script NOT as admin. Elevated prompts will be generated when needed.
# Note: a folder will be created on the same path, see variable "$destFolderName" bellow.
# Command:
# powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File Setup_app_new_windows.ps1
#
# Microsoft Store vs Standard apps?
# Some apps in the MS Store are the same than their standard installer version.
# In that case, prefer to use the MS Store, as it will constantly and in background update them (in theory at least).
# In other cases, UWP app are just lighter or PWA versions, so way less interesing / performant than
# their standard alternative versions (for example, VLC).
#
#
# Automating software updates using winget, without WingetUI:
# winget update --all

# OTHER TOOLS NICE TO HAVE, but can't apply it now in one file script
