Preferences

Winget Executable Path

By default the extension calls winget from your system PATH. If Raycast cannot find winget, enter the full path to the executable here.

Common locations:

• C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\winget.exe
• C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_*\winget.exe

Leave this field empty to use the system default.

Run in Background (Install / Upgrade)

When enabled, Raycast closes immediately after starting an install or upgrade. The operation continues in the background and a notification appears when it finishes. When disabled (default), Raycast stays open and shows a progress toast.

Hide Unmanaged Packages (Installed Packages)

When enabled, the Installed Packages list hides packages without a known source (not installed via WinGet or Microsoft Store). Note that some WinGet-installed packages may temporarily appear without a source immediately after installation.
