I've got a lot of applications on my computer that keep prompting me to update every time I launch them. Is there a more efficient way to handle app updates all at once instead of dealing with them individually?

Have you tried Glary Utilities? It offers decent options for managing app updates and improving system performance. Might be worth a shot!
You might want to look into Patch My PC as well. It used to be great for managing updates, but I’ve noticed it has become a bit bloated and confusing lately.
If you're comfortable with Command Prompt, you can use Windows PowerShell. Just type `winget upgrade --all` and it will update all the apps it supports at once. You can even set this up to run automatically with Task Scheduler for convenience!
Totally! Just set a scheduled task to automate the `winget` command and you'll be golden.
Check out Ninite! It's a handy tool that allows you to install popular applications in bulk and automatically update them. The free version covers a wide range of popular apps, which is pretty neat.
Nowadays, most software updates automatically in the background, so typically, you wouldn't need a third-party tool. Just make sure you're using the built-in update features of your apps whenever possible, as many of these tools can add unnecessary bloat and may not be safe.
Does this method also update third-party apps that were installed using .exe files, or is it just limited to system updates?
