Describe the bug The winget installer does not attempt to elevate permissions. This means the installation fails, unless run from an administrator terminal.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a terminal (WITHOUT administrator privileges)
  2. Run winget install qtpass
  3. Installation fails with an "Access is denied" error.

Expected behavior QtPass is installed

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context If you do not already have winget installed, get it here: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/app-installer/9NBLGGH4NNS1?hl=en-us&gl=US

I actually have no idea who manages the winget installer/entry. Apologies if this is the incorrect place to report this.
