Supercharge Your PC: Update Every App With One Command (Plus 3 Secret CMD Tricks)
Your PC is running outdated versions of almost everything right now. Windows has a built-in fix nobody uses, one command that updates every app at once. Below is the exact step-by-step from the video, plus the 3 secret commands that supercharge the rest of your machine.
What you are actually using
The tool is winget, Microsoft's official package manager. It ships built into Windows 11 and modern Windows 10, so you are not installing anything sketchy, it is already on your machine.
One rule before we start: admin CMD executes anything you paste with full power. Only paste commands you understand or got from a source you trust. Everything below is explained line by line.
Step 1: See every app you have (and what is outdated)
Press Windows + R, type cmd, hit Enter. Then paste this:
winget listStep 2: The basic upgrade command
You will see every application, the version you are on, and the upgrade available. This command upgrades all of them:
It works, but it is slow, and you have to sit there approving upgrades one by one. Here is the fix.
winget upgrade --allStep 3: Full autopilot (the command from the video)
This time run CMD as admin: press your Windows key, type cmd, right click Command Prompt, Run as administrator. Then paste this one line:
It auto-accepts the license prompts and installs everything silently, one by one, while you go play video games or something 🤯
If a few apps show an unknown installed version and get skipped, run it again with --include-unknown added to the end.
winget upgrade --all --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreementsSecret command 1: Unlock Ultimate Performance mode
Microsoft ships a hidden power plan called Ultimate Performance that removes the micro-throttling your PC does to save power. It is invisible until you run this in admin CMD:
Then press Windows + R, type powercfg.cpl, hit Enter, and select Ultimate Performance from the list. Honest note: the gains are real but biggest on desktops and plugged-in laptops. On battery it will drain you faster, that is the trade.
powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61Secret command 2: God Mode
This creates a folder on your desktop containing every single Windows setting that exists, all 200+, in one flat list. No more digging through Settings menus:
md "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}"Secret command 3: Purge the junk your PC hoards
Windows quietly hoards gigabytes of temp files. This clears them instantly and safely, anything in use gets skipped automatically and Windows rebuilds what it actually needs:
Your PC is not the only device hiding settings from you. The AirPods settings Apple buried and the secret phone codes master list do the same job for the rest of your hardware.
del /q /f /s "%TEMP%\*"Get the next one first
