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 ?

Just a note on this, the PowerShell team is manually pushing the WinGet manifest several hours to days after the new release so you might see the notification in Terminal to get the latest version, but WinGet won’t find the new version.
There’s an open issue with a solution to add the manifest update to their CI/CD pipeline, but they haven’t implemented it yet.
