Manage PowerShell Module

There are PowerShell modules that ship with Windows 10 that weren’t installed from the PowerShell Gallery using PowerShellGet so they can’t be updated using the Update-Module cmdlet. This also applies for any modules that you’ve installed manually yourself.

This tool build with XAML in WPF is a Powershell script with a GUI. You can easy update module for different scope AllUsers or CurrentUser.
