winget upgrade/list not showing any result

[johntony366]

Untitled.mp4

Fresh install of Windows 11 Pro. As shown in the image, winget list and winget upgrade are not resulting in any output. Every time, the slash icon rotates for around 23 seconds and then nothing happens. I have tried restarting which did not fix my issue. Currently at a loss for what to try next. I did find a similar unresolved issue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsinsiders/comments/sijael/winget_upgradelist_not_showing_any_result/

@johntony366,

Can you try winget source update --verbose-logs?
It looks like the cache is stale. I'm wondering if there is a network issue.

[johntony366]

Yep, that fixed it. Thanks!

[MS-Manikandan]

I have same issue, I executed this command winget source update --verbose-logs and winget list but it didn't output anything for me.

[denelon]

@Manikandanmani can you share your logs?

[MS-Manikandan]

@denelon, thanks for reaching out, now i executed winget source update --verbose-logs and it updated the sources, then executing winget upgrade works as expected.

[chylex]

Ran into the same issue, the logs show that at least one of the updates was "Done" but it didn't actually do anything. Before the second update finished, I realized that Wireguard VPN launched at boot and had an old invalid configuration, so I didn't have access to the internet.

I would expect winget source update (especially with --verbose-logs) to tell me that it can't connect, instead of silently failing and not updating the local cache.

[brainz80]

Having same issue as chylex. Running winget source update --verbose-logs winget fails(?) silently during Updating source: winget...

[ktrNozomi]

@brainz80 I use winget source list and winget source remove winget to remove the stuck source, then everything works... It appears that this cache doesn't exist: https://winget.azureedge.net/cache.

@johntony366,

Can you try winget source update --verbose-logs? It looks like the cache is stale. I'm wondering if there is a network issue.

"winget source update" has helped me but everytime on one damn PC of one of my customers, only god knows why, winget wont "source update" in the beginning when i command "winget upgrade" to see, which program needs to be updated

[bolandross]

Unfortunately, I am experiencing this problem on a fresh installed Windows 11 😅

[ChristopheL77]

I had the same issue, then I updated App Installer from the store and it started to work.

[Aetherinox]

Yup, this issue is getting rather annoying, brand new fresh install, winget does nothing but spin. And I've done the recommendations above. It just spins until I kill it. System has internet (obviously).

[ChristopheL77]

Did you update app installer (get updates then update) in Windows store ? Le jeu. 28 déc. 2023, 00:59, Aetherx ***@***.***> a écrit :

Did you update app installer in Microsoft Store ?

Get-AppxPackage -Name 'Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller' | Reset-AppxPackage

This fixed it for me.
