Nothing works and the terminal gets messed up

[RobbyCBennett]

Brief description of your issue

When I run winget I get no results, an annoying loading icon in the terminal, and a messed up terminal because the text becomes dim.

I'm on a new Windows 11 machine and I haven't had this problem on my old Windows 11 machine. I've already tried Windows updates and also winget source update --verbose-logs.

Steps to reproduce

Run winget with various arguments, such as winget list.

Expected behavior

Normal functionality for the commands.

Actual behavior

The loading bar messes up the terminal and the tool generally seems to be broken.

Environment

Windows Package Manager v1.2.10691
Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.22621.2428
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.17.10691.0

winget source update --verbose-logs

This is a very old version of WinGet. I'd suggest checking the Microsoft Store for updates or installing the latest release via https://aka.ms/getwinget.
