What about running
winget source reset --forceand then runningwinget source updatewith administrator privileges?There are various third-party applications that can sometimes break your OS files / registry entries into bits and pieces even if you never touched or never installed CCleaner before.
It’ll also break more than just WinGet so other applications could be impacted without you knowing about it.
It’s the exact same Download URL that you shared in your original post as part of your error logs but you can also run
winget source reset --forceto redeploy the source file.WinGet can be manually installed via the
Add-AppxPackagecommand if there’s an issue you want to reproduce so you don’t realistically need the Microsoft Store to be installed in Windows Sandbox to use WinGet.You could try to reproduce your issue there if you wanted to and check what the outcome is. I’m not able to do this because I cannot reproduce this issue.
Not uncommon.
There was a user who blamed WinGet for breaking their OS when in theory it was caused by the user (https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/1005) while other issues are related to CCleaner breaking OS installation.
Sometimes there’s just a lot variables on how issues like this can happen because of how complex Windows is.
If you’ve already tried to redeploy the source file by running
winget source reset --forceandwinget source updatewith administrator privileges but you’re still seeingAccess is denied.then I’m afraid that you’ll have to do an in-place upgrade using an ISO image.I’m not really that careful with my installation of Windows but I have yet to see anything break on my end even though I’m running Insider Preview builds of Windows 11.
Although you mentioned that it’s a 1-week old installation, I’m more talking about a 5-minute old installation which I was able to achieve via Hyper-V using a VHDX file to provide you a quick PoC.
I don’t know what exactly caused this issue other than the fact that it’s definitely an issue on your end because
Access is denied.is more or less impossible to achieve on a 5-minute old install of Windows 11.I mean… I have Steam, VS Code, OBS, a couple more programs and Store apps. All reputable. I’m very minimal with my Windows installs and diligent with maintaining them and not doing anything breaking. And like I said it’s about a week old. If that’s all it takes to break winget then maybe make it more resilient? Because I can guarantee you most people are way less minimal with their systems.
I’m actually not even sure if I wanna install whatever you linked there, I’m that cautious.
Haven’t touched either of those.
That is also what I meant and what I did (in addition to Windows Updates).
Not sure what you mean. There isn’t even a Store in Sandbox.
If I need to resort to an in-place upgrade a week into a clean install and cautious usage then there is something seriously wrong and will break again a week after.
Yes I did.
I used the Windows 11 ISO (22000.1) and the Windows 11 VHDX (22000.613) from the build release share and I also downloaded the Windows 11 ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 but still unable to reproduce this issue.
Using the VHDX was faster than ISO because it already included the latest Cumulative Update (CU) and also skips most of the installation phase other than the OOBE for user name, password, etc. All that was left for me were Microsoft Defender Antivirus and .NET Framework 3.5 / 4.8 updates which installed quite fast using Windows Update, and even though it didn’t require a reboot for those two updates, I ended up rebooting anyways.
Using the ISO did take longer than VHDX because it has to go through the installation phase then OOBE then OOBE installs a Cumulative Update (CU) then OOBE again but for username, password, etc. After that I have to install everything, such as 22000.613, in Windows Update and update all of the applications from the Microsoft Store.
These are pictures taken from the VM that used an ISO image which is also the same outcome for VHDX:
Screenshots from ISO (Hyper-V)
winget source update (logs from DiagOutputDir)
There’s also a new optional update released today which seems to include a bug fix for MSIX but I don’t know if that’ll change anything: https://www.windowslatest.com/2022/04/26/windows-11-kb5012643-released-heres-everything-new-and-improved/
It should be posted in Feedback Hub because the Windows Servicing & Delivery (WSD) team are the ones that manages the production builds of Windows 11 and the Feedback Hub is always being checked by various teams regardless of how many upvotes a particular issue gets.
WSD heavily prioritizes useful bug fixes, security fixes, and some features from the Windows Insider Preview builds into production builds of Windows 11.
I’m sure the developers of those applications are already aware of that due to the amount of complaints they receive.
Also,
No applicable installer found; see logs for more details.has been solved because of my pull request: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/58663.I didn’t show it in the VM because that application doesn’t allow VMs to install it but it works fine on my PC running Dev Channel builds:
