Anyone else had this Winget-AutoUpdate-aaS **magically** install itself?
Recently strange (and rather ugly) notification started appearing on windows startup notifying these or that app update or couldn't update.
Turns out it's Winget-AutoUpdate-Intune a new app in Microsoft Store named Winget-AutoUpdate-aaS that installed itself (without my consent🙄) (and can't be installed🙄🙄) which publisher is not event Microsoft but Hauke Hasselberg whom 6 month ago brags on linkedin.
No kidding? 🙄
Of course the app don't appear in the store library and not even with
Get-AppxPackage -User $env:USERNAME | Select-Object Name, PackageFullName
So no way for the normal user to opt-out and even a superuser to simply remove it with a Remove-AppxPackage
The worst is that it keeps installing a version for powershell not yet supported by Anaconda which breaks of tool of trade.
What the What the duck is going on? 🦆
When does Microsoft will stop acting like monopolistic bully and shoving things down our throats 🤬
For now disabling the scheduled tasks, the app creates stop the updates from happening but I lost so much time investigate this issue. And I won't surprised if those tasks magically turn back on at some point.
It's surprising that literally nothing exist on the web about this. Am I part of a first pool of guinea pig beta tester? 🧪
