You can if you use the windows store. It's just that you usually install things outside of that, unlike in linuxes where you generally use the package manager that can handle updates for you

There’s a real problem trying to use the store with command line tools as they don’t use Windows standards for installing things but create GUID folders under your profile instead, which means your path has to be full of garbage or you have to create a lot of aliases.
Plus Windows Store is not supported on all version of Windows particularly Datacenter versions - your most valuable assets !!
You can jump through a couple hoops to get WinGet working in Windows Server environments without much issue. IIRC, there's a single PS1 script you can run to do it, followed by a reboot.
