Failed when opening source(s)

[Pixel556]

Brief description of your issue

Winget gives me an error every time I try to use winget show or winget install, saying that "Failed when opening source(s); try the source reset command if the problem persists.

I tried to do winget source reset --force and winget source reset, it was successful but the problem persisted. I also tried winget source update which outputs this:

PowerShell 7.4.0
PS C:\Windows>winget source update
Updating all sources...
Updating source: msstore...
Done
Updating source: winget...
Cancelled
PS C:\Windows>_

I don't interrupt the process while winget is updating its sources, but for some reason it automatically cancels at Updating source: winget....

Can anybody help me this? I'm new to Winget, so I don't really know much.

Steps to reproduce

Only thing needed to do is: winget show Insert.AnyPackageHere or winget install Insert.AnyPackageHere

Expected behavior

Winget would install my package without errors.

Actual behavior

Winget is spitting out an error whenever I try to use winget show or winget install.

You will need to update your version of WinGet, since the original CDN which was hardcoded into version 1.5 has been retired.

• P.S.A. Original CDN will be retired #3652

You will need to update your version of WinGet
And how am I supposed to do that? Running winget source update doesn't do anything. It just updates the source for the Microsoft Store but not Winget itself.

As mentioned in the issue, you can use the installer from https://aka.ms/getwinget. Or, since you’re currently using a preview version, you can download the latest preview version from the GitHub releases pge
