Description

Windows Update Manager is a lightweight Python tool designed to manage and update installed software on a Windows system.
It scans all installed applications via the Windows registry and cross-references them with winget to identify available updates.
Users can view installed software, check for updates, and perform updates centrally from a single interactive interface.

This tool is particularly useful for keeping multiple applications up-to-date efficiently, especially for users managing many programs on a Windows machine.
