Most commands fail silently

[hahn-kev]

Brief description of your issue

when running numerous commands. For example the following:

• winget source update
• winget search term
• winget install PackageName

I get the following output or similar in the windows terminal:

not in the screenshot is that there's a spinner on the tab of the terminal still.

Steps to reproduce

On my machine I just need to run those commands, it works the same in my IDE and across powershell and cmd.

Expected behavior

the command should succeed or at least give me an error so I can resolve the error.

Actual behavior

the command fails silently, there's still a spinner there and the color in the terminal gets messed up, it's like the process just crashes

Could someone submit a feedback hub report so we can get additional logs?
Run a command that fails this way in WinGet and then go to:
https://aka.ms/winget-feedback will launch feedback hub.
Share the link at the end so we can go straight to those logs please.

@hahn-kev is this resolved?

Two things were happening at the same time. We've resolved one of them (we needed to purge the cache), and this code should help for future problems.

[hahn-kev]

This issue is resolved for me now. Sorry I can't submit feedback anymore since the problem is gone.
