There should be a similar function like for apt on debian/ubuntu where it is "apt-mark hold <appname>" Sometimes a new version is not working properly in your environment, so this is mandatory like disabling autoupdate functions in applications. I see the necessity and importance of keeping your software up to date for security reasons. But sometimes they break other things, that's why I want to be able to hold on to an older version for a while.

There is no "-Exclude" option for the current version of WinGet.

You can place a feature request (use the "New Issue" button) here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues. You'll have to create a GitHub account in order to do so.

You can also create you own JSON file containing only the package Id's you want to update. https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/

The lack of an "exclude" option makes this completely useless.

You can do this: winget upgrade app1.id, app2.id, app3.id

You will get the app id from the available updates list after running winget upgrade
