According to the author, these are utilities people should install on a new Windows machine.

Surprised to see Everything left out.

Here's this from my setup_windows.ps1 powershell script for maintaining windows: https://github.com/westurner/dotfiles/blob/develop/scripts/s... ;

  powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -file ./setup_windows.ps1 -InstallPSWindowsUpdate
  powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -file ./setup_windows.ps1 -UpdateWindows
  powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -file ./setup_windows.ps1 -InstallWSL
  powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -file ./setup_windows.ps1 -InstallChoco
  powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -file ./setup_windows.ps1 -InstallChocoPackage

So then the regular tasks are -UpdateWindows and -UpdateChocoPackages :

  powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -file ./setup_windows.ps1 -UpdateWindows
  powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -file ./setup_windows.ps1 -UpdateChocoPackages
