@SuperITMan I removed the “Needs-Author-Feedback” label so the bot shouldn’t try to close the issue.

We’ve released WinGet 1.4 today. I haven’t seen additional reports of this kind since 1.3 was released. I’m not sure if it was a matter of translation between English to French for the “Bank Account” specific error or not, but the Windows Package Manager will check the user account if one is logged into the Microsoft Store, and if not, it will fall back to a device-based entitlement.

You can just open the MSIX bundle from our releases page.

Perfect ! after updating , I can install packages that I was unable to due to “no store account found”
