winget missing from windows 11 (10.0.22000.65) #1426
Try opening the Microsoft Store and checking for updates. Also, the current build number is 10.0.22000.168, so you probably need to run Windows Update.
The "App Installer" from the store should include the Windows Package Manager on all versions of Windows 11. It didn't make it into the initial Windows 11 install, but an update should be available for all Windows Insider builds.
Is there a way to synchronously install App Installer? If not, there needs to be!
With winget not being available immediately out of the box in Windows 11, I don't see sysadmins adopting it because they won't be able to use it during OS deployment, autopilot, etc.
In the absence of winget being included in the ISO for Windows 11, we need a process like:
Install OS
Run some command(s) to install App Installer. The command is synchronous (it waits until App Installer is installed and returns an error code if it fails to install)
The Windows Package Manager should be in an automatic update delivered by the Microsoft Store on Windows 11. It was not included in the base image for the initial release. If Group Policy or other settings are blocking the Microsoft Store, this could affect a user's ability to use the Microsoft Store UI to request the update.
Frank Lesniak (@franklesniak) the best solution might be for you to write some PowerShell to pull the latest release from GitHub, install it, and then run whatever commands you want with winget. It'll still catch updates from the Microsoft Store, but since there's no way to tell the Microsoft Store to run updates and get a response when they are done, it's probably the best solution for now.
Indeed - thank you both. After I posted last night, I saw another post that said the Windows Store would detect and update App Installer even if someone installed App Installer via Github (https://twitter.com/FrankLesniak/status/1455747254027948032?s=20). I haven't tried this myself, but it sounds like a good path forward.
Easton Pillay (@jedieaston) sorry to hijack this issue, but I'm doing something similar and I have questions: #1691
Provisioning ran just fine, but on first boot the snippet
produces the second timestamp ~15 minutes later (and there is really no winget.exe in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps during that time). After that, winget is fully functional in the same ps session.
What is happening in that 15 minutes? Can it be sped up?
Tamás Szabó (@GethDeeo) this isn't likely to change before the next servicing release for Windows 11. We have work scheduled to be included in the base image for the next release.

I am in the beta channel.. no updates showing for windows.
store updates all done and no winget
jedieaston commentedon Sep 2, 2021
Ah, the beta channel. I wonder if you have to be in dev to get winget?
BladeFireLight commentedon Sep 2, 2021
I do not believe so. my co workers around me all got it. and I did not.
jedieaston commentedon Sep 2, 2021
Can you look in your App Execution Aliases and see if it appears there?
These instructions should work: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-manage-app-execution-aliases-windows-10
Also, what edition of Windows are you on? Shouldn't matter, but just to be sure...
BladeFireLight commentedon Sep 2, 2021
I do not see it in the aliases list.
edition says Windows 11 Enterprise

BladeFireLight commentedon Sep 2, 2021
I have installed all updates and so see an app installer winstore app and now the aliases have app insaller pointing to python and python3
still no winget from the command line
jedieaston commentedon Sep 2, 2021
Do you have any pending updates in the Microsoft Store?
BladeFireLight commentedon Sep 2, 2021
nope
denelon commentedon Sep 3, 2021
Are you logged on with a user account that has admin rights on the machine?
Is it the same user account that installed the Windows Package Manager?
BladeFireLight commentedon Sep 3, 2021
Yes and yes
