Winget Config instructions

1. Take the desired configuration scripts from the winget_configurations folder
2. Follow the instructions at https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/package-manager/configuration/ to setup your machine

Running install.ps1

On a fresh Windows machine the default execution policy is Restricted, which prevents PowerShell from running .ps1 scripts entirely. The in-script execution-policy check (Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process) is a safety notice only — it cannot bootstrap itself from Restricted mode because the script never gets to execute.

To launch the installer, run:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1
