We love using the Windows Package Manager (winget) to install public apps like Notepad++, but we also have proprietary internal business applications. Can we configure winget to point to a private enterprise repository hosted in our Azure storage so our IT team can deploy internal apps using the same command-line tool

Hi Syafiq Hamid

To deploy proprietary internal applications using the Windows Package Manager (winget), you can connect the utility to a private enterprise repository hosted in Azure. This is accomplished either by deploying the official WinGet REST API reference implementation as an Azure Web App for scalable environments, or by hosting a static, pre-indexed package index inside an Azure Blob Storage container for a lower-maintenance setup. Rather than manually configuring endpoints, IT administrators should scale this deployment centrally using Group Policy or Microsoft Intune, which secures the configuration within the Windows Registry path at HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppInstaller to automatically distribute the internal repository across all corporate devices.
