# Get-PackageUpdates
Print Chocolatey and PSGallery updates in your PowerShell session
## Installation
Install the module from the PowerShell Gallery:
Install-Module Get-PackageUpdates -Scope CurrentUser
Add the following lines to your $profile:
Import-Module Get-PackageUpdates
Write-PackageUpdates
Create a shortcut under shell:startup that includes the following line:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden -Command "Save-PackageUpdates"
This will start a PS session at startup (logon) which will get and save the available updates.
That way it can be printed when you start a new session once it is available.
