Mods for WAU (if Network is active/any WinGet is installed/running as SYSTEM) - _WAU-mods.ps1

[KnifMelti]

Check for GPO changes when running Winget-AutoUpdate instead of 06:00 every day and check for WinGet updates every run:

<# #Mods for WAU (if Network is active/any WinGet is installed/running as SYSTEM)
Winget-Upgrade.ps1 calls this script with the code:
[Write-ToLog "Running Mods for WAU..." "Yellow"
& "$Mods\_WAU-mods.ps1"]
Make sure your Functions have unique names!
Exit 1 to Re-run WAU from this script!

From WAU 1.17.9-2

[KnifMelti]

...and, as an example of the possibilities with _WAU‐mods.ps1 for others to see.

[Romanitho]

Yes, but then it depends on how you setup WAU the first time... 😅
That's why in my mind the job is totally independent. But you're right, it's is an option 😇

[Romanitho]

And little clarification, 06:00 every day with -StartWhenAvailable task setting, that will run the task asap if the machine was off at 6 😅

[KnifMelti]

Yes, I know. Prefer it my way

[Romanitho]

I understand. Depends on needs.
