With Winget command, how do you list only upgradeable apps

Question

There doesn't seem to be a built in option to filter by available upgrade or source.

I have tried this but it still lists everything:

winget list --source winget

Some kind of `appget outdated` – MuiBienCarlota Jun 16 '21 at 13:11 — MuiBienCarlota, Jun 16 '21 at 13:11

I found a solution that works. You use the upgrade command with no arguments instead of the list command. This wasn't clear to me in the documentation but works perfectly.

winget upgrade

FYI, the documentation has been clarified: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/upgrade#using-upgrade – Doug Mar 09 '23 at 15:09

And if you want to do actual upgrade of all those packages type `winget upgrade --all` – Igor Jun 11 '23 at 06:52

You can also filter by source using this syntax

winget list --upgrade-available --source=winget
