When saying randomly, you mean always or 1 out of X times?

When saying randomly, you mean always or 1 out of X times?

I cannot reproduce it manually, it just happens. It could happen 0 of 5 times, or 3 of 5 times.

When UniGetUI reports WinGet needs to be repaired, if you refresh the "Installed Packages" page do your WinGet packages appear there?

[cmdshft]

When UniGetUI reports WinGet needs to be repaired, if you refresh the "Installed Packages" page do your WinGet packages appear there?

I don't know to be honest, when this happened I was always in the Software Updates tab. I didn't think to check the first tab (this is because I run UniGetUI in the background and only ever open it in that tab).

[marticliment]

When this issue happens again, attempt to reload all software pages without repairing winget, and let me know if you see less packages

[ezande]

Same issue here. W10 system. Used repair for winget when asked for but after restart of wingetui again "WinGet malfunction detected" appears. The only installed package left is Microsoft.WinGet,Client (1.9.25190), nothing else.
Every time I restart the repair option is shown.

[marticliment]

What is the output of running winget list on a command prompt?

That gives me the full list

Maybe this causes an issue when running winget from within UniGetUI:

C:\>winget list
The msstore source requires that you view the following agreements before using.
Terms of Transaction: https://aka.ms/microsoft-store-terms-of-transaction
The source requires the current machine's 2-letter geographic region to be sent to the backend service to function properly (ex. "US").

Do you agree to all the source agreements terms?
[Y] Yes  [N] No:

I have to acknowledge that each time winget is being run.

Every single time you run winget list you are requested to accept the msstore agreements? Or only after attempting to repair WinGet from UniGetUI?

I haven't had that issue, but when I too tried to update Microsoft.WinGet,Client (1.9.25190) via UniGetUI, it would fail and then I would try the command manually in CLI and I had to agree, but then that also failed too (something about -Scope not working). But that's a different issue than the bug(?) I reported.
