Hello, You have a corrupt WinGet installation. Please navigate to Settings -> WinGet -> enable the option "Use bundled WinGet instead of System WinGet" |
|
The same here, on an older Win10 laptop. Same message: WinGet: Failed to connect to composite catalog. The solution with the bundled winget worked. Winget succeeded also when I started UniGetUI as administrator, but then warnings popped up: don't run UniGetUI as admin. So apparently it is a problem with access rights. The winget itself does not seem to be so corrupt, because windows updates and "winget list" work normally. |
|
The same situation for me: |
|
Same problem here. There is even no list of installed Software, there is no winget entry. Bundled Winget also not work. |
|
To Dynamix69, Mannshoch and future posters: Perhaps it helps the maintainers if you look at the UniGetUI log and the packet manager logs, to be found in the three dots menu entry in the lower left (... More), look for error messages and post them here. |

Not sure if it is relevant to others but to solve this issue for me, I noticed I had just run bleachbit to clean up some junk on my system. Upon running "Winget list" in terminal I had to agree to a license agreement, pressing Y. Only after that could I get UniGet to process catalogs from winget. It seems that this "flag" is removed from the system with when bleachbit or similar actions take place? Maybe having UniGet check if this license agreement is confirmed and displaying a message or handling it another way would be sufficient to prevent these errors. |

Hello, Please try UniGetUI 3.1.2-beta4. It has a built-in troubleshooter for WinGet that is supposed to fix this issue. Download it here: https://github.com/marticliment/UniGetUI/releases/tag/3.1.2-beta4 |

Hello,
does not work.
I have to mention, that I am running unigetui as „normal User“ not as Admin.
If I run it as admin, it´s appearing to work.
But it´s shown as not recommended.
Kind regards,
Michael

UnigetUI attempted to repair winget today, I allowed this to happen twice. It was unsuccessful. However after executing the following command and accepting the terms UnigetUI functioned successfully. PowerShell 7.4.5 Do you agree to all the source agreements terms? |
|
What did not fix this issue for me (Win11 23H2, UniGetUI 3.1.3):
What did help:
Only then the WinGet sources got updated with success, installed packages and their updates were getting shown in UniGetUI. It might have helped enabling "Always run WinGet operations with administrator rights". |
|
{Edit: Enabling Settings > Winget > "Use bundled Winget [...]" fixed it for me.}
So, I had a broken Winget today, it launched initially fine, then ran an update and after that it didn't work. I tried the repair, then restart for Uniget. I tried running "winget list" at an admin PowerShell. I had to agree to the terms, but this didn't fix the issue. I tried "winget source update" and the source was updated, but this again didn't fix it for me. I have tried the beta; no joy; but I'm on Version Code: 3.13001 in any case. The winget manager loads (according to UnigetUI log): System WinGet CLI Version: v1.9.25180. The logged error (in red): I also tried from PS running (as admin) "winget source reset --force --verbose" (separate to Uniget running it) but whilst it appeared to reset I'm not sure it's working and the error remains in UnigetUI. Also tried running as admin by launching UnigetUI.exe in the winget directory, ran the repair as before but still not fixed. As I run pihole I also checked for blocked domains, but there were none related to this. As per the edit above, the final move of enabling the bundled Winget does allow me to see the other updates [again]. |

Update from my side. I meanwhile found the cause of the Problem. The Company I'm working for established a GPO that lock Windows store. It seems it also affect winget and unigetui. I Propose to check such and prompt an information. |
and others
Please confirm these before moving forward
UniGetUI Version
3.1.1
Windows version, edition, and architecture
Windows 10 Enterprise x64
Describe your issue
Installed UniGetUI and executed once. Scan for installed software worked properly, updates where downloaded and installed also properly.
The next day UniGetUI doesn't find any installed packages nor updates any longer.
Uninstalled it and deleted \AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Settings\defaultState\sources_metadata for all users as suggested in https://github.com/marticliment/UniGetUI/issues/1720. Installed again, but the same result, no installed software found any longer
According to logs, Winget can't connect to installedSearchCatalogRef , but I don't know how to fix that...
