Please consider updating released on Winget. The current version seems to be v2.1.3:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>winget search gpgfrontend Name Id Version Source

GpgFrontend - OpenPGP/GnuPG crypto, sign and key management Tool 9NH716MQK2B5 Unknown msstore GpgFrontend Saturneric.GpgFrontend 2.1.3 winget

This is a useful alternative for Kleopatra where Kde don't seem to be doing Win builds any longer.

It's very interesting that I didn't release this software for winget, but rather on the Microsoft Store. Anyway, I'll look into this piece.

Its a different repo and the apps are installed differently as you'll see. You cannot see version numbers from the MS Store any-more. I think MS hid them because there is so much abandonware in the store. Its as easy to use as apt and because I am a regular Win and Lin user I prefer it. Unless you schedule it it does not auto update but there is a GUI called UniGet which can. I tried UniGet some time ago and couldn't get it to work but it looks like a new release is coming.
