When I winget --version I get:

v1.2.10691

When I winget upgrade -all I get:

\

and much the same with winget list

In the titlebar there is a spining icon as if something is running but no popups appear and I see no progress. This happens in both normal and Administrator terminals.

I have installed winget with

$progressPreference = 'silentlyContinue'
Write-Host "Installing WinGet PowerShell module from PSGallery..."
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force | Out-Null
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Force -Repository PSGallery | Out-Null
Write-Host "Using Repair-WinGetPackageManager cmdlet to bootstrap WinGet..."
Repair-WinGetPackageManager -AllUsers
Write-Host "Done."

    Hello Johannes Kingma!

    This issue occurs when the local package source index becomes corrupted, or when hidden terms and agreements prompts stall the installation process in the background.

    Please follow these quick steps:

    1. Open PowerShell as an Administrator.
    2. Reset your Winget sources to clear out any corrupted data: winget source reset --force
    3. Update the source index with fresh data: winget source update
    4. Try your installation again, but append the agreement flags to prevent hidden prompts from hanging the process. For example: winget install <PackageName> --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements

    Please let me know if the issue persists, and I am happy to follow up and troubleshoot this further with you.
