winget

Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features then, in the right-hand pane, click on the link for Manage app execution aliases.

If you don't see this then either the installer hasn't added itself to the PATH environment variable or you haven't signed out/signed in (or both... there are issues reported with this first release).

Try installing it again:

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-...bwe.appxbundle

You should see this:





If it installs successfully then you should see this:





In a console (PowerShell or CMD), the command winget list should result in something like this:





Hope this helps...

winget

You have installed it first, haven't you? It doesn't come with Windows. If so, try a Command Prompt rather than Powershell.
