Oh, I found out that if i run winget source reset --force, the https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache source gets back

I'm also having the same problem. Apparently Winget CDN is down: https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache.

Was troubleshooting winget source not working for over an hour, just to discover that the Winget CDN does appear to be down... Well, at least I now know it's not me :-)

According to #2666 , the CDN might be down in some countries.

[David-Noble-at-work]

In my case: this is because winget doesn’t like multiple users to be using it. Imagine that apt or end (formerly my) only worked for one user. That’s where winget is at.

i had same issue. (i still have) winget cdn having issue. it return 0KB source file (https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix)

i managed to download valid source.msix using a VPN with Canada location. now it works without VPN but 0KB source is still a thing without VPN.

it shows Failed in attempting to update the source: winget

@Nollknolle have you been able to resolve this with winget source reset --force in administrator mode?

I don't tried it anymore.

Same issue here! I had tried to resolve this with winget source reset --force in administrator mode but still showed the same issue. It seems the Winget CDN is down: https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache.

[denelon]

@IronManStank I don't think the CDN is down, but we have been playing whack a mole with random endpoints. We've had an open investigation with our provider for weeks, and we're hopefully down to the isolated individual endpoints. We're also bringing in additional third-party monitoring to help find issues sooner.

I've seen a few people with work arounds by specifying known good endpoints in their hosts file. It's been pretty painful to isolate and fully resolve. Apologies for all the frustration this is causing.

https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix is the package that gets installed to update the local database of packages.
