Windows package manager UniGetUI gets even more snappy thanks to new Settings UI

UniGetUI, formerly called WingetUI, received a major performance boost with its previous update thanks to multiple enhancements geared towards that.

Today, with the latest version, the application has gotten even more snappy thanks to a new decluttered settings page UI. The previous versions would stack the various settings on top of one another all one page. Inside these, the various sub-settings could be accessed via drop-down menus.

Now, that has changed as clicking on each of the individual settings options leads to a separate page, and although anecdotal, it did feel snappier.

  • Desktop Shortcut Handler now has an option to automatically delete new shortcuts.
  • Fixed issues where the Desktop Shortcut handler wouldn't launch.
  • Other improvements to the Desktop Shortcut Handler UI.

  • Issues with Chocolatey search missing packages have been finally fixed.
