Hi everyone,

In Uniget, I am getting a Microsoft.WinGet.Client update. It won't install in Uniget. How can I update in PowerShell? I have googled and tried a few things (including in the Microsoft Store), but they don't work.

Thanks.

I had this issue but can't exactly remember how I fixed it. I can roughly remember the steps though.
This is just an example. Double click the offending updateksnip_20241104-095830.png

and you'll get to this page, and this is where I can't remember what link I used to update Microsoft.WinGet.Client successfully. Images are just examples.

Hope that'll help (y)

On a subsequent opening it might initiate a Winget repair.

I got it working on my desktop with (in powershell) "Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client".

On my other machine, I get a totally confusing output (pictured below). Can anyone help? I have no idea how to proceed safely.
