same issue. Maybe in the next few hours the server will be back up

[denelon]

I don't believe the service was down. The URL in the source export in the screenshot above isn't the path to the Pre-Indexed package.

The correct path is:
https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source2.msix

[denelon]

Does winget source update -n winget also fail?

[Ramshu]

Does also fail?winget source update -n winget

Yes, it also fails.

[denelon]

Can you run the command and share verbose logs?
winget source update -n winget --verbose-logs --logs

Winget has never worked properly, especially on clean installations, even though it comes pre-installed. The installation is often broken, preventing it from running or updating. The best solution is to install it directly.

Start-BitsTransfer -Source "https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/download/v1.8.1911/Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle" -Destination "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller.msixbundle"
Add-AppxPackage -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller.msixbundle"

I'm also having problems with appx...
When the problems with winget started, I tried uninstalling it with appx, getting the same error codes as now. I have checked and the services (AppXSVC) and (ClipSVC) are up and running, but for some reason that I don't know appx doesn't work.

Ok, I suggest first repairing the Microsoft Store by running wsreset -i. After a while, wait for a notification that confirms the Store has been installed.

[PatrickTerlisten]

Same here.

Done, but the problems persist.

[PatrickTerlisten]

I fixed it by granting my user admin perssions, followed by a

winget source reset --force

and

winget source update

Then I removed the admin permissions again and winget still works.

That's literally what I do in the first comment, obviously it didn't work, so they're not the same problem. If you can give more details of the problem you were having, in case it helps to find a solution that would be great.

[PatrickTerlisten]

Did you granted your normal office account the admin priviledges? Because as Administrator, winget never showed an issue, only with my normal, unpriviledge office account.

Yes, my account has the privileges.

I don't know if it would help or not, but there is a "Repair-WinGetPackageManager" cmdlet in the Microsoft.WinGet.Client PowerShell module. It's designed to "fix" issues with WinGet from an install/bootstrapping perspective.

You could try running Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Latest -Force to see if that addresses the problem.

If that works, it's clearly a work around and not the solution to the problem, but I'd love to help unblock the issue until we can get a solid set of instructions to reproduce the situation so we can figure out how to fix the actual root cause.

Doesn't works for me...

Add-AppxPackage -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller.msixbundle"

this completely solved it for me. appreciate so much.

[denelon]

@Ramshu it looks like you may not have "installed" the module before trying to run the cmdlet.

Try running Install-Module Microsoft.WinGet.Client before trying to run Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Force -Latest.

This did something, but it didn't fix the problem.

Add-AppxPackage -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller.msixbundle"

I managed to get the commands to work using Windows PowerShell instead of the latest version of Powershell, but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.

I have also tried to uninstall winget completely and installing the latest version, but it did not solve anything either.

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller | Remove-AppxPackage
Add-AppxPackage -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle"

@denelon @surgatengit @PatrickTerlisten
I have been able to solve it in the most unusual way.

I remembered that the problems with winget started after deleting a Guest Account... So I tried to create a new administrator account, I tried to use WinGet List on the new account, it asked me to accept the terms and it worked.

I have returned to my usual user account and winget worked magically, it is curious that it also asked me to accept the terms as if it were a new installation.

I really don't understand what happened or why, I just know that it has worked.

This helped me, had this winget error since 3-4 Months and couldn't solve it. Thanks so much! @denelon
