What results do you get when you run I'm suspecting something isn't correct with permissions on the default source package. |
|
|
Try running the following commands (as administrator):
Then run:
|
|
I get an error about another user being logged on, but I am the only user logged on. |
|
Does the "Remove..." command work in "non-administrator"? |
|
|
Try |

You might have a different version installed. See if you can remove the "Windows Package Manager Source (winget)" from the Settings app under "Apps > Installed apps". |
|
I was able to remove it via the Settings GUI. |
|
OK, now try running |
|
|
Try installing the source using "https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source2.msix" |
|
So that one seems to work in that I am able to update the source, but I still get an access denied error when I try to list or upgrade. |
|
I fixed the issue. For some reason the Winget folder in my user's temp directory |
|
Ok so something keeps flipping the folder back to being owned by my admin user. I have manually given my normal user read/write access though and I will monitor what happens. |
|
Yep something keeps changing the permissions of that folder and my normal user got kicked off. |
|
Have you tried enabling the self elevate experimental feature? |
|
I have not. How do you do that? |
|
Follow the instructions here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/blob/master/doc/Settings.md#configureselfelevate Let me know if that works or if you need more help! |
Same problem here. And after analysing, i found that if you run winget updates through UniGetUi (3.1.1) this happens. if you install the updates with winget-cli all is fine. -> But not on all machines. I think the difference could private user and company user, i have the problem only with my company notebook (EntraID / Active Directory). |
is not working on my site. |
|
Same issue on my system... Also because there is no permission on |

Brief description of your issue
For a week now, the winget source in Winget is totally broken and will not work for package updates, package installs, nor package searches. When attempting to do
winget upgrade --allI get an0x80070005 : Access is denied.error. The funny part is I get this error when I run as a normal user which is funny because I shouldn't have to be admin to simply run an upgrade command; that generally kicks in when packages actually want to upgrade (which is the behavior I experienced before)Running the command under an admin powershell instance produces this error
It's also worth nothing I am on a preview, but this issue existed before I switched to a preview build as part of troubleshooting.
Steps to reproduce
Attempt to upgrade or install anything.
Expected behavior
I expect Winget to work like a functional package manager
Actual behavior
Winget is broken beyond belief.
