Thought I would have a look at the new package installer but when trying to run it i get "winget : The term 'winget' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet" on 21H1.

If it installs successfully then you should see this:



In a console (PowerShell or CMD), the command winget list should result in something like this:



Hope this helps...
