Brief description of your issue

WinGet is unable to uninstall some packages I installed but it's able to install others.

I give an example of packages I'm unable to uninstall in the bottom fields and one of the packages I'm able to install and uninstall is Task.Task. I'd also be glad to know how to manually uninstall those packages during the time that WinGet has issues. Uninstalling them through Windows settings is redirecting me to winget uninstall command in PowerShell.

Steps to reproduce

In my reproduce, I'll give examples from Genymobile.scrcpy and Gyan.FFmpeg as I can't uninstall them from my system.

  • Run winget install scrcpy
  • Check if that package now exists at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages as Genymobile.scrcpy_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe
  • Run winget uninstall scrcpy

Expected behavior

Expecting uninstall command to actually work like in this example.

PS C:\Users\user> winget uninstall scrcpy
Found scrcpy [Genymobile.scrcpy]
Starting package uninstall...
Successfully uninstalled

Actual behavior

Command output will stay like this for a very, very long and immeasurable time. --verbose option is not printing any info as well.

PS C:\Users\user> winget uninstall scrcpy
Found scrcpy [Genymobile.scrcpy]
Starting package uninstall...
