2.3 How do I upgrade curl.exe in Windows?
The curl tool that is shipped as an integrated component of Windows 10 and
Windows 11 is managed by Microsoft. If you were to delete the file or
replace it with a newer version downloaded from https://curl.se/windows,
then Windows Update will cease to work on your system.
There is no way to independently force an upgrade of the curl.exe that is
part of Windows other than through the regular Windows update process. There
is also nothing the curl project itself can do about this, since this is
managed and controlled entirely by Microsoft as owners of the operating
system.
You can always download and install the latest version of curl for Windows
from https://curl.se/windows into a separate location.
