HOW TO FIX WINGET ERROR IN POWERSHELL

[jcoy101]

Brief description of your issue

Winget not recognised in powershell/cmd

Steps to reproduce

How to solve:

Check your current execution policy:

powershell

Type

Get-ExecutionPolicy

Then

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

Then

.\winget-install.ps1 -Force

You will probably get an error, trust me!

Next step

Install-Script -Name winget-install -Force

This will install it in C:\ powershell directory

Then

Since you already bypassed the execution policy for this session, now just run:

& "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Scripts\winget-install.ps1" -Force

It seems like you're trying to install winget through a custom script, which may not be a supported method. Have you tried downloading the latest msixbundle from https://aka.ms/getwinget and running the msixbundle file? Alternatively, you can use Repair-WinGetPackageManager powershell cmdlet to get the latest WinGet via the sandbox script. See Install WinGet on Windows Sandbox for the script contents.
