Uninstall-Module Microsoft.WinGet.Client repeatedly until it complains the module is not installed. Run this command in PowerShell 5.1.Install-Module Microsoft.WinGet.Client and see what happens

5 days ago Yep that fixed it, thanks :) I will note that as above, the Expand version option still shows no version for the PSModule.

4 days ago I could not figure out how to fix it. The fix described here doesn't seem to work for me.
This is the error I get when Uniget is trying to install the extension:
PackageManagement\Install-Package : The following commands are already available on this system:'Find-WinGetPackage,Get
-WinGetPackage,Get-WinGetSource,Install-WinGetPackage,Uninstall-WinGetPackage,Update-WinGetPackage'. This module
'Microsoft.WinGet.Client' may override the existing commands. If you still want to install this module
'Microsoft.WinGet.Client', use -AllowClobber parameter.

1 day ago Isn't it dangerous if another module exports the same commandlets? The new module might hide the existing commands.

Please confirm these before moving forward
UniGetUI Version
3.1.0
Windows version, edition, and architecture
Windows 11 Education 23H2 x64 (OS Build 22631.3810)
Describe your issue
After the most recent update that changed WingetUI to UniGetUI, I seem to be stuck in a loop on application startup that attempts to install the WinGet PowerShell module over and over again without acknowledging that the previous install had succeeded.
Open UniGetUI after 3.1.0 update, prompted to install module:
Install module, PowerShell opens, installs, then closes on key press:
UniGetUI asks to restart, say yes:
On next startup, the prompt reappears:
Steps to reproduce the issue
See description.

Package Managers Logs
Relevant information
Package Managers Logs seem to show some PowerShell errors.
I have both PowerShell
7.4.3(installed via WinGet) and5.1.22621.3810(bundled with Windows) on my system.It also still seems to suggest that the module is installed, but fails to show a version:
