Can run as normal user / not as admin

[Joebhoy1888]

Ive just done a clean install of Windows 11. If I run a command prompt as a normal user, winget will run, If I run as Admin, it says path not found. I add the path (C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.25.280.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe) to env variables but get access denied. Any ideas how I get winget to run when I run as admin, so I can upgrade install powershell etc. ?

Thanks -J

WinGet is registered via an "App Execution Alias". It should work in both a "user" terminal/shell session as well as an "administrator" terminal/shell session. If it's not on the path, you might be referring to the system context (nt/authority). In that mode, App Execution Aliases aren't supported. Try using the Microsoft.WinGet.Client PowerShell module in that case.
