@rajeshjaga I tested that on windows 11 pro and windows 10 pro so it's seemingly not a problem with the toolbox maybe you did a tweak or maybe you didn't update your system or maybe it's a problem with windows 11 home Just try updating you system

System seems to be up to date. I have tried on couple other windows 11 home machines and they are reproducing the same exception error. Also I think it could be only windows home version that might have been causing this issue, will try out on few VM's

Yup, its probably windows.home issue I will try looking more into that to see what makes home fails to install winget.

@rajeshjaga Can you launch Optional Features (Win+R > OptionalFeatures) and tell me if you see Services for NFS in there?

Apr 06 '24 05:04 ruxunderscore

I don't see that option

Apr 06 '24 06:04 rajeshjaga

Yeah. Looks like Home doesn't seem to have the NFS client, which seems like a weird thing to not include.
