The feeling of having a new PC is great. Is it nice that you have all the necessary apps installed before you can start using the computer for your work? Finding and downloading one app at a time can be frustrating and annoying. But, what if we told you that there is a way to automate the whole process and install almost all the apps you need with one click? In this guide, we show you how to install multiple apps on Windows using three different services.

How to install multiple apps at once on Windows

Before we move on and share the list, you should know that there is a group of services that allow you to install Windows apps in between. However, not all of them are user-friendly. Also, check out this software for installing multiple apps on Windows at once.

Ninite

Ninite is one of the best services that lets you configure your PC from scratch. Follow these steps.

1. Visit ninite.com on your PC.
2. Scroll down a bit to check out the app catalog on offer.
3. The list of software on Ninite has most of the apps anyone would need, but it may not have all of them. For example, if you use niche apps such as Vivaldi browser or mainstream ones such as Photoshop, these can't be installed via Ninite at this point.
4. Tick the ones that you would want to install.
5. Scroll down and click Get Your Ninite.
6. Now a combined installer for all the apps you selected will be downloaded on your computer. Run it to install all of them in one go.

Patch My PC

Patch My PC is also a good alternative that lets you download multiple apps simultaneously on Windows. However, unlike Ninite which works directly through the website, you need to download Patch My PC on your computer. Follow these steps.

1. Download Patch My PC Home Updater.
2. Install Patch My PC on your computer and open it.
3. Select the apps that you need. Once done, hit the install button at the top to go ahead.
4. Besides, Patch My PC also lets you uninstall multiple programs at once. Simply hit the Uninstall button. Now, press control and mark the apps that you'd like to uninstall in bulk. Click Uninstall to proceed.
5. You can also install pending app updates by clicking Perform Updates.

RuckZuck

Like Patch My PC, you will also need to download the .exe file for RuckZuck. Follow these steps.

1. Visit ruckzuck.tools and under Downloads, click ruckzuck.exe to download it.
2. Open Ruckzuck.The interface is pretty straightforward. Hit Install New Software. On the next page, you'll find apps organized into categories.
3. Open any category > Choose multiple applications by pressing control and selecting them > Once done, hit Start installation and the apps will begin downloading.
