Someone has just shown me how to install store apps using winget, winget does not export installed store apps like normal software, so it has to be done separately.
In case store is somewhat broken, winget might be able to update apps by reinstall. Upon clean install I can uninstall all apps except store and install only those I want.
Code:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Get-AppXPackage | where-object {$_.name –notlike '*store*'} | Remove-AppxPackage
Winget has to be installed manually unfortunatelly. Get App Installer - Microsoft Store
Code:
winget install --id 9wzdncrfj3q2 --exact --source msstore --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
App ID is the number within the URL, for example MSN Weather - microsoft.com/en-us/p/msn-weather/9wzdncrfj3q2

Your latest version (and previous versions) of SUMo has some issues identifying some programs

1) Portable Librewolf of mine is already 97.0.1 version but SUMo reports as 96.x.x
2) ExpressVPN is still at 10.17.0.28 but SUMo reports a newer version 10.19.0.7 available
Does SUMo also reports if a new beta of ExpressVPN is out for example?

I don't think so for the beta version.

I believe it rightly reports the ExpressVPN version but the ExpressVPN software itself is slow to prompt the update. Similarly, for my Surfshark VPN too.

But portable Librewolf is definitely incorrect.

What's wrong in SUMo with LibreWolf ?

Should LibreWolf Portable be reporting v1.3.0.0 or should be 98.0-1?
SUMO uses file versioning from the exe itself and it reports as 1.3.3.0. Maybe portable version should be separated in SUMO, so updates could be reported properly.
What I find concerning though, that the user agent says Firefox revision 91 instead of 98 and it lacks the digital signature, I guess they do not put much love into it.
