Using a .bat file
Note the agreements arguement with the windows store app
@echo off
winget install -e --id=Chocolatey.Chocolatey
winget install -e --id=7zip.7zip
winget install -e --accept-package-agreements --id=9PF4KZ2VN4W9
pause
(the last install is a windows store package)
Or
@echo off
winget install --accept-package-agreements Chocolatey.Chocolatey 7zip.7zip 9PF4KZ2VN4W9
pause
Using a .ps1 file
Nice to have all the arguments on one line. All the "" & commas are a pain.
#Install software
$SoftwareToInstall = "MartiCliment.UniGetUI", "7zip.7zip"
foreach ($Software in $SoftwareToInstall) {
WinGet.exe install $software --silent --force --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements --disable-interactivity --source winget
}
Windows Sandbox makes it difficult to install Winget.
Here is a .ps1 script that works now but things change.

Hints:
For bat scripts just copy/paste into notepad and save/name file "anything.bat"
Double click should run in Windows & Sandbox
For ps1 scripts just copy/paste into notepad and save/name file "anything.ps1"
In regular Windows, double clicking the file will run it.
In Sandbox, right click and "run with Powershell"
Which one do I like for installing multiple probrams?
I like the bat file's verticle list and ease of editing
I also like the continuous list.
Just remember store apps need additional argument to avoid interaction during install but can be stated once with continuous list version.
I guess you could go the Full Monty with below or pick and choose as needed.
--silent --force --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements --disable-interactivity --source winget
