New or notably improved Windows apps
The latest version of the open source app introduces several new features. P until now, you could use the app to upgrade from an earlier version of Windows 11 to 24H2, even if the system does not meet the official requirements.
The new version adds an option to upgrade compatible systems right away. Another new feature is the integrated plugins system, which you may use to run small scripts. About ten are available and some are update related. One lets you delete the Windows Old folder to free up disk space.
Windows Updates Viewer is an open source program that displays information about updates on Windows machines. It pulls details from several sources, including the Event Log, if available.
Other nice-to-have features include filters, links to support resources, and more.
