About

which is a Windows implementation of the Unix which command. It scans every directory on the PATH and reports matching executables, honoring PATHEXT so extensionless queries match .exe, .cmd, .bat, and .com. By default it prints the first match; pass -a/--all to list every instance. Output is color-coded.

Copy a command tailored to that specific architecture, type, and scope - useful when winget would otherwise pick a different default.

Security

No known CVEs for which.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
