    This works very well for informing me of new apps that are available. However, when I try "Check for updates for your installed apps", I get garbage. See for yourself:

    I'm running Windows 11 Pro (x64) Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3527), Windows Package Manager v1.7.11132 (Winget) and Microsoft Store Install Service is running.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    thats kinda odd... at first look somehow the first pull - 3d viewer had some extraneous data in it, that then affected the rest of the tables. Just guessing -- maybe a special character. But looking at mine _8wek**** is part of the version being pulled, or part of the file name anyway.

    But yeah, the rest is wrong.

    if you click -- say audacity -- what happens?

    Hi, this has been fixed for the next release. Windows 11 formats the table data slightly differently, but I have no idea why. Paul @ AlomWare.

    Sorry for the late reply. I'm glad you have it fixed in the next release. Can you give an idea of when that release might be?

    To answer your question; when I double-clicked on Audacity, I got this:
    Updating: Audacity 3.5.1

    No available upgrade found.
    No newer package versions are available from
    the configured sources.

    Thanks for the follow-up and getting this fixed.

    Hi Gekko, I'm waiting on feedback from MajorGeeks about the fix and update. They need to green-light it before I can release a final build.

    As for the updates: the app just uses Winget in the background, so what you're seeing in the right-hand box (under "Check for updates") is what Winget is reporting. We can't fix that. The app is just a GUI for Winget.
