The command "winget upgrade --all" is used for upgrading all the installed applications on your Windows machine using the Windows Package Manager (winget).

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "winget": It is the executable for Windows Package Manager. This command-line tool allows you to manage, install, and upgrade applications on Windows machines.

  • "upgrade": It is the subcommand of winget that specifically handles the upgrade functionality. When you use "upgrade" followed by additional arguments, you can upgrade applications that are already installed.

  • "--all": It is an argument that indicates to upgrade all installed applications. When you include "--all" after the "upgrade" command, it instructs the Windows Package Manager to upgrade every application installed on your system to the latest available version.
