Any ideas?

Failed in attempting to update the source: winget
Failed when searching source: winget
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
0x8a15000f : Data required by the source is missing

No packages were found among the working sources.

Not really a Windows user, but give me a minute to do some research.

Google says: don't use 'winget' as admin.

🤪 01/13/2025 02:11 PM

tried without admin too

I Am trying to run winget on a widows 11 pc and keep getting the error 0x8a15000f : Data required by the source is missing. Have done update reset and still get the issue with the same error.

But I will continue looking.

In the worst case you can always use the Windows installer, but winget is probably nicer.
