winget upgrade --all stop working

Hi,

I used winget upgrade --all to update all the outdated app for long time, and it was super useful

It is a few weeks that doing winget upgrade --all has the same output as winget upgrade, so it only shows packages to upgrade, without updating them.

How can I troubleshoot it? Can I reinstall winget?

Thanks

    Try using: upgrade winget --accept-package-agreements -r

    I use it on Windows 11 and it updated everything.

    I tried but I get this error:

    Reset-AppxPackage : The term 'Reset-AppxPackage' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or

    operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try

    again.

    At line:1 char:57

    • ... AppxPackage -Name 'Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller' | Reset-AppxPackage 
    •                                                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      • CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Reset-AppxPackage:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
      • FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

    Get-AppxPackage works, but Reset-AppxPackage no

    I forgot you are running a Windows 10 Build, sorry.

    Can you try this command?

    Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register (

    [System.IO.Path]::Combine((Get-AppxPackage -Name 'Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller').'InstallLocation','appxmanifest.xml')

    )
