Dev Home Service

[denelon]

Suggested new feature or improvement

I'd like a service to help me stay productive in my ideal state.

Scenario

• Periodically check WinGet package updates and inform me when new packages are available.
• Automatically update my packages with WinGet when updates become available.
• Inform me when a package I've pinned with WinGet has become non-compliant with my setting.

The discussion has also suggested some improvements around helping keep my system properly configured.

I'm sure there are several other scenarios associated with making developers more productive and keeping them informed.

Additional details

Over at the WinGet repository, we've been asked about a service that could help keep WinGet packages updated:

• https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/212

I think this should also be extended to other package managers as well:

• 20

I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS feature, omg. It could replace my winget update --all scheduled task.

I could see this information getting surfaced through the apps and packages management experience (https://github.com/microsoft/devhome/issues/1984) or handled through the proposed notification system (https://github.com/microsoft/devhome/issues/1915)
