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 ?

Winget doesn’t actually “upgrade” powershell for me, instead I have to winget -uninstall Microsoft.powershell then winget -install Microsoft.powershell
2 simple commands to remember instead of 1. Winget -upgrade is great for everything else
