UniGetUI 3.1.7, a user-friendly graphical interface for widely used command-line package managers on Windows 10 and 11, covering WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, Pip, Npm, .NET Tool, and PowerShell Gallery, has been released. The latest update emphasizes enhancing reliability in package operations, refining version detection, adjusting UAC temporary folder behavior, and improving parsing for PowerShell (versions 5 and 7) and Chocolatey.

It addresses version mismatches, implements a 20-second timeout, and enhances Scoop success/error detection. Additionally, it includes the removal of Pip, better bootstrapping for Vcpkg, improvements to .NET Tool functionality, faster install and update times for cargo, an API-based update check, enhanced version comparisons, optimized CPU usage when UniGetUI operates in the background, and resolves crash scenarios related to UniGetUI. The application features enhancements to the user interface layout and improved detection of desktop shortcuts during updates.
