Update all but exclude teams and office

[drummbelbummel]

I really love winget as it is making it very easy to keep non microsoft apps "up to date".
But every time i am struggling with teams and office.
It looks like winget is not able to update these applications in an environment with intune mdm.
So i wanted to use a script to exclude those two - just exporting "winget list --upgrade-available" and than looping through the result and skipping the id's
But - the comments in the output are not helpfull for what i want to do.
Could there be a parameter like "display only" with the option to get only the id or name of the package?
So i could loop through each app and decide what i want to happen.

Have you tried using the WinGet powershell module? https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Microsoft.WinGet.Client/

There isn't an option in the PowerShell module yet to exclude a package from update (what the winget pin, command available in the client offers), but you can get the desired result through a command like:

Get-WinGetPackage | Where-Object {($_.IsUpdateAvailable -eq $true) -and ($_.Id -ne 'Microsoft.Teams') -and ($_.Id -ne 'Microsoft.Office')} | ForEach-Object { Update-WinGetPackage -Id $_.ID }

This will get all the packages available for update, filter out Microsoft.Teams and Microsoft.Office, and then pipe that to Update-WinGetPackage to upgrade all other packages

Putting the "native" cli implementation here for reference;

Run once:

winget pin add --id Microsoft.Teams
winget pin add --id Microsoft.Office

After running the above, then winget upgrade --all will upgrade everything except Teams and Office

Just sharing a comment I saw on how to unpin apps, in case you want to update Teams or Office using the command in the future from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1203328/winget-exe-upgrade-all-exclude

Run:

winget pin remove --id Microsoft.Teams
winget pin remove --id Microsoft.Office
