Brand new Windows 11 machine has winget installed but all commands don't return anything

StevenBucher98 commented 3 months ago

Brief description of your issue

I recently started a new Windows 11 VM and wanted to use WinGet to install my packages but it does not seem to work at all for any installs searches and lists. I can however type winget and see the help so its installed?

Steps to reproduce

Fresh install Windows 11 machine in parallels on an M1 Mac

Try to run any subcommand that does not just return text (i.e not winget, or winget --info)

Expected behavior

I am able to install packages from winget

Actual behavior

Whichever shell I am using gets hung and returns to the prompt but now is blue:

Happens on cmd.exe and powershell.exe with or without Windows Terminal:

Happens with loads of winget subcommands:

Environment

Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.17.10691.0

Logs: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\DiagOutputDir

This is all in a Parallels VM on a M1 ARM64 Mac.

If you're on a version less than 1.6.3482 (as shown in the screenshot), you need to update to the latest version of WinGet. Please see the troubleshooting steps - https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/tree/master/doc/troubleshooting#executing-winget-exits-with-no-message
