If only windows had package managers for the 100 million machines with 7zip out there

winget is actually smart enough to manage stuff installed outside of it, but that still requires users to actually use winget to begin with.

Winget, Chocolatey, Scoop, VU, Cargo. I could go on...

Can't you not use those unless you have admin rights on your PC which the vast majority of corporations (rightly) don't give.

Then the corporations are the ones on the hook to to update it. shrug

Right, it's the end-users responsibility to update software in a corporate environment is it?

Scoop, by default deploys in ~\Scoop, and works in 95% of cases with a regular user.

Winget exists, but I believe it has to be manually setup, and manually used.

It's been a while since I used Windows in general, so my knowledge is a bit outdated/rusty.

Manually triggered, yes. Manually setup, no - it’s already a part of Winblows 11.
