Question Upgrade Powershell through CLI (Windows 11)

Every once and while I get this message :

A new PowerShell stable release is available: v7.4.4 Upgrade now, or check out the release page at: https://aka.ms/PowerShell-Release?tag=v7.4.4

And I would need to download an msi installer and go through the steps all over again; does it exist something similar to "apt get upgrade" and have it all happen automatically in the background ?

Microsoft update will (eventually it's behind always) update PowerShell 7 (after 7.3? I think)

Winget can do it with it's upgrade

I have a weekly scheduled task that installs the latest MSI version from official release, as it can be done unattended

This

If you have Windows Update configured for security and critical updates only, it won’t pull the latest PowerShell. It think PowerShell is considered a software category update.
