<p>Remember that some apps install on a <em>per-user </em>basis, and some install on a <em>per-OS </em>basis; for the latter (apps that install globally, so every user can access them) you must run <em>winget </em>"as administrator" or installs will error or silently fail.</p><p><br></p><p>That shortcoming is apparently being worked-on…</p>
<p>Tangent: <strong><em>no</em></strong> software run with Administrator privileges should fail quietly unless the admin user included a <em>quiet</em> switch in the command line.</p>
<p>This is an extremely useful utility for working as administrator on the Windows CLI:</p><p><br></p><p>https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo</p><p><br></p><p>It adds a sudo command similar to that on Unix/Linux type systems so you can elevate just that process rather than have to start a separate elevated terminal.</p><p><br></p>
