It either shouldn't be doing this or needs an investigation.
Brief description of your issue
We have a small office with about ten computers. I am using Winget to keep my apps up-to-date. All these machines have an administrator account and a standard user. I only use the administrator account if it's necessary. I just log in as the standard user for every day usage.
The problem is that I cannot update the winget sources with an elevated command prompt. Because of this, I cannot use winget to upgrade all my apps with a single command.
If I run a command prompt without admin rights, I will have to type my password for every application upgrade. With ten computers and about five applications it's a nightmare, just to think about it.
Steps to reproduce
winget source update
.Done
message.winget upgrade
will output:No installed package found matching input criteria.
winget source update
.winget upgrade --all
will update the applications now, but you will have to log in to the admin account for every application install.Expected behavior
Be able to update winget sources with the admin command prompt.
Actual behavior
I can only update the sources with a non-admin command prompt.
