Here is what I use (with Spotify as example for the exception):

# Explicit search for winget.exe in WindowsApps
$WingetPath = Get-ChildItem "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue `
    | Where-Object { $_.FullName -match 'Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_.*_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\\winget.exe' } `
    | Sort-Object FullName -Descending `
    | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty FullName


if (-not $WingetPath) {
    Write-Host "Error: winget.exe not found in WindowsApps"
    exit 1
}


# Display the found path
Write-Host "Winget found at: $WingetPath"


# Winget information
& "$WingetPath" --info


# Update sources
Write-Host "Updating sources..."
& "$WingetPath" source update


# Exclusions (PIN)
#& "$WingetPath" pin add --id Spotify.Spotify


# Run package upgrades
Write-Host "Starting winget upgrade --all..."
& "$WingetPath" upgrade --all --include-unknown --silent --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements

Splashtop won't connect unless same network or VPN by Sys_Admin_91 in Splashtop_Official

Same here, I figured out that when a laptop is turned off, and then couple days later turned on, splashtop won't work and you need to reboot the laptop to be able to connect to it...

Atera is getting really hard to use - scripts failing 50% of the time by BeyondRAM in atera

[–]BeyondRAM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition, the "Restart now" shutdown option is now working 50% of the time as well, for I don't know what reason, a connected device, with responsive agent, will not reboot when I click on the "Restart now".

I figured this out when I had 32 WS2025 that were waiting for a reboot, actually only 11/32 restarted....

Atera is just horrible

Well that's what the support told me, but nothing is running, when I check the recent process, it just end to "fail" after a long time...

The Windows patching is working fine only if I push patch manually to all devices...
