Have you tried using the WinGet PowerShell module?
You can use Get-WinGetPackage
cmdlet (equivalent to winget list
). Use Get-Help Get-WinGetPackage -Full
to see all available capabilities of the cmdlet (there are examples available at the end of help text)
There is also a winget export
command that can export all installed files to a json file
winget export -o file.json
Conversely, there's a winget import
command too that lets you install all exported applications from the exported json files with one command
The output is modest:
PS C:\ManVal> Get-WinGetPackage | ConvertTo-Json
[
{

We've released the Microsoft.WinGet.Client PowerShell module to address customers wanting JSON output.
I might be the only one here, but I want to extract all of the data I have in winget to json so I can quickly retrieve a substet of apps from the list
Is that already available?
