Please share your entire logs

it's nothing else relevant to this issue in the logs. that is the only command issued that triggers the connection attempt.

connection is easily reproductible by running that command in windows terminal:

powershell.exe -NoProfile -Command Get-PSRepository 

=> MS connection packets captured towards go.microsoft.com (92.122.18.57; alternate dns: e11290.dspg.akamaiedge.net), then to onegetcdn.azureedge.net (152.199.19.161 ; alternate dns: cs9.wpc.v0cdn.net)

I intercept the packets with an interactive firewall, but can be seen in any other network monitor tool

Afaik, go.microsoft.com is used for redirects to other MS links such as the above

it's nothing else relevant to this issue in the logs. that is the only command issued that triggers the connection attempt.

I insist. There is relevant information on the logs about the state of WingetUI and all the managers, information that will help me identify the flaw and fix it. I would appreciate you shared the logs so I can investigate the issue

[Uj947nXmRqV2nRaWshKtHzTvckUUpD]

This is the most i can give you, because it's too much to redact about the software i have installed (I kinda care about my online privacy). Sorry, i hope it helps. It should be easily reproductible though.

1. in wingetui log, only thing relevant is: (rest are related to other package managers) ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ MANAGER LOADED ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █ Name: PowerShell █ Enabled: False █ THE MANAGER IS DISABLED ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

2. in package manager logs, it's what i pasted above: ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ [28 March 2024 12:12:44] PowerShell ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █ Executable: C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe █ Arguments: -NoProfile -Command Get-PSRepository WARNING: Unable to find module repositories.

the second attempt 4 seconds later, looks like a retry, since i blocked it in firewall. Rest of the logs are not related to powershell (are related to scoop, chocolatey, winget, npm, pip which I have enabled and working fine). however for my other disabled package manager '.NET tool', i don't see any log

3. operation history log seems irelevant

[marticliment]

because it's too much to redact about the software i have installed (I kinda care about my online privacy). Sorry, i hope it helps. It should be easily reproductible though.

Then please redact it all, but I need to know which managers are running and which commands are they calling with which frequency, as well as the WingetUI logs, so I can see the base state of each manager and other useful info.

If not, the issue cannot be debugged

[Uj947nXmRqV2nRaWshKtHzTvckUUpD]

i only have disabled powershell and .net tool. rest are enabled. it should be easily reproductible on your side as well. I don't have time to redact it all. i am sorry

[marticliment]

At least share WingetUI Logs, there shouldn't be much to redact there, and I will be able to get advanced details about the manager status

[Bluscream]

I was able to reproduce the behavior without any more logs aswell

[marticliment]

Hello,

I am not trying to annoy anyone by asking for logs. I have tons of issues to debug and fix, as well as other features, and I obviously have to do other things in my life. The time I have available to build WingetUI is very limited, and I don't want to waste it tweaking my pc to recreate an issue I haven't succeeded to recreate, because no one wanted to upload their logs.

I understand your concerns with privacy, but the things shown on the logs, especially WingetUI logs, will not destroy your privacy. The shown API token, which is used for WingetUI Widgets, is generated each time WingetUI is restarted. And the next big issue are paths, from which you easily can remove your username.

I am sorry, but I will not invest more time on this issue until you share your logs.

I understand that your time is precious, but so is mine. You are facing an issue you want to get fixed, and trust me, I am willing to fix it, but I will need your collaboration to do so.

If you choose to not share your logs, I will close this issue. As said, I did not manage to recreate the issue locally.

[Uj947nXmRqV2nRaWshKtHzTvckUUpD]

wingetui log. ignore the errors related to www.marticliment.com and announcements (i have blocked the domain in firewall) I didn't know you cannot reproduce it until now.
