Windows Package Manager 1.8.1791 marks the first stable 1.8 version for Windows 10 and Windows 11. This release disables experimental functionality, and WinGet v1.8 will be the only stable version that does so.

The new capabilities include HTTP Proxy support, WinGet Configuration Mixed Elevation Mode support via COM, WinGet Package Icon support via COM, PowerShell Modules for ARM64, and control characters that are not permitted in user-generated content.
