Known issue: Running CMD from guinget on 64-bit Windows causes filesystem redirection to occur, resulting in anything that has to be launched from the "real" System32 not working correctly. #98
This shouldn't impact most people, but it will if you need to run something like SystemPropertiesProtection.exe. The only workaround I can offer is to just run CMD from the Start menu or something else instead. I could tell Windows to run CMD from SysNative, but that doesn't work when running it elevated since it just crashes. A real solution would be to compile a 64-bit version of guinget, but winget doesn't offer separate architectures yet and I don't want people to have to manually install a different version.
