Powershell script to install all programs currently on a PC
Windows installation fails and restores previous version. It's stuck at version 1809. Searched and tried all suggestions.
Planning a fresh reinstall of Windows.
Is there a way to automatically create Powershell script to reinstall all current programs with Chocolatey?
Thank you very much,
Alex

There's no such thing.
But you can certainly create a script yourself to install all of the apps that are available on Chocolatey. It won't take long.
- Do an inventory of what's installed on your old machine
- Goto Chocolatey.org
- Search for your programs
- Create a Powershell script that string
choco install
