Running winget through the app execution alias gives no output #2025

Brief description of your issue

Running winget from the app execution alias located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps gives no console output. It still works fine if I run it from C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.18.431.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe however I get no console output if I run it from the app execution alias. I've already tried stable versions and older versions and disabling and re-enabling the alias with no luck. I checked logs and running it from the alias doesn't create a log.

This may be more of a problem with windows than with winget, not sure.

Steps to reproduce

Just happened randomly, sometimes a reboot or re-install fixes it other times it doesn't.

Expected behavior

I should get console output from running winget

Actual behavior

I do not console output from running winget

Do other App Execution Aliases work when winget breaks? (If you have Windows Terminal installed, wt.exe is a alias to launch it)

Yeah Windows Terminal works fine (only other one I have). Seems to be an issue with only winget.

So this is like the most random thing ever but it seems to only happen if I transfer files over IRC with HexChat. I don't know how or why but that seems to be what's causing this to happen although I'd have no clue how the two are linked. Feel free to close this if it seems necessary as this is probably more of an issue with HexChat.
