UniGetUI Update: Major Performance Enhancements with TRIM Support
Today marks a significant milestone for UniGetUI, the widely-used Windows package manager previously known as WingetUI. This latest release introduces substantial performance enhancements, primarily attributed to the addition of TRIM support. According to the developers, this new update can achieve an impressive reduction of up to 44% in executable size and a 6% decrease in memory utilization.
Key Features of the Update

TRIM Support
- Executable size decreased from 201MB to 113MB (approximately 44% reduction)

Understanding TRIM and Its Benefits
For users who may not be acquainted with this functionality, the TRIM command enables a storage device to intelligently clear away space that is no longer required.
