Winget UI does not recognize packages installed by previously Chocolatey

[Giamma94]

Hello everyone, I have been using Chocolatey for a long time and have installed various packages with it.
Only recently I became aware of the existence of Winget UI.
I note with regret that Winget UI does not recognize packages that I had already installed from Chocolatey..
I don't know if this is normal, is there a solution?

Chocolatey GUI recognizes all packages without problems, but I would like to use Winget UI(I think it is done better).

Thank you if you answer me

@Giamma94 Heya!

Try going to the WingetUI Settings menu, go in the Package manager preferences section, under Chocolatey preferences check "Use system Chocolatey (Needs a restart)".

See of that helps in your case!

😊

WingetUI by default uses its own Chocolatey binary, this will use your previously uses, system installation of Choco instead.

I will need to know:

1. Your windows version
2. Your chocolatey version
3. your WingetUI version

Thank you very much for the support, I solved it.
I am careless and didn't notice that Winget UI remains open as a service, closing it from the Try Bar and reopening it everything worked as it should.

Grazier so much for the support.

Do I close the question or delete it?

No, it is fine to have it here so people with the same issue can benefit from it

I believe the question can stay for future reference and as a useful resource for more people.
