If I try to execute winget as admin, I will get error saying "winget is not recognized as the name of cmdlet" This is seeing on any Windows 11 computer. I already checked variable below. Is the any way to archive this? Because Intune new Store does not contain all apps yet, I am scripting some packages do get installed via WinGet. Application would work if User Context is used, but not with System context.

This problem is seeing only in Windows 11, Windows 10 does not have this problem. Also App Installer from Store is installed, it does not make any difference.

    I just got this error - turns out the winget version was upgraded.

    Moved from
