Am on Windows 11. Once in a while, winget, the Windows Package manager, suddenly begins installing Postgres v14 without my consent as seen in this screenshot. I already have Postgres 12 and do not want an automatic install of v14. How do I prevent it from doing so?

The Windows Package Manager (a.k.a. WinGet) is a command line tool. It doesn't take action without a user running a command. There are several open-source utilities that leverage WinGet and one of those may have automatic processes.

I suggest looking to see if you have something else installed that is calling WinGet programmatically.

    So I need to find what is initiating the installation, OK – Peter Feb 13 '23 at 07:08
  • @Peter did you find what is causing this auto installation from winget ? This is such a pain, uninstalls it and then re-installs it and dont know who is initiating it from where – deepg Aug 20 '23 at 07:04
