The list command of the winget tool displays a list of the applications currently installed on your computer. The list command will show apps that were installed through the Windows Package Manager as well as apps that were installed by other means.
The list command will also display if an update is available for an app, and you can use the upgrade command to update the app.
The list command also supports filters which can be used to limit your list query.
Usage
winget list [[-q] \<query>] [\<options>]
Note
If you want to list all apps with available updates use winget upgrade (without any arguments).
