I'm not seeing the MSStore results. This is very similar to the behavior seen in

What output does winget search XP8BWXV3XV04BN provide to you?

[Trenly]

@stephengillie @ryfu-msft - This looks like an incorrect error message. MSStore source returns 404 when the package is not available, not only when the source endpoint is not found

[helbing]

I have the same issue. I switch the region of the Microsoft store to the us, but I already installed an app which only in the cn region. Because of this, when running the command winget upgrade --all, it always reports the error:

Failed when searching source: msstore
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
0x8a150044: The rest source endpoint is not found.

After I uninstall that app, the issue is fixed.

[LucNanquette]

Just started to get this error today, running winget upgrade --all gets me this:

Failed when searching source: msstore
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
0x8a150044 : The rest source endpoint is not found.

I tried resetting the sources with winget source reset --force. After that running winget upgrade gets me this:

The `msstore` source requires that you view the following agreements before using.
Terms of Transaction: https://aka.ms/microsoft-store-terms-of-transaction
The source requires the current machine's 2-letter geographic region to be sent to the backend service to function properly (ex. "US").

Do you agree to all the source agreements terms?
[Y] Yes  [N] No: Y

I tested this on v1.4.11071 and v1.5.1081-preview, same result.

[LucNanquette]

UPDATE I found the culprit. Turns out https://github.com/builtbybel/BloatyNosy provoked the error. See these winget log entries:

Uninstalling this app resolved the error. Going to post an issue at the concerned app...

[lishaoxia1985]

@LucNanquette I think it's a bug. Besides uninstalling the app, do you have other way to solve this?

[LucNanquette]

@LucNanquette I think it's a bug. Besides uninstalling the app, do you have other way to solve this?

@lishaoxia1985 Not really. But it definitely exists a problem between BloatyNosy and the msstore. Just by installing BloatyNosy the problem appears, even without running it once. Uninstalling solves the problem. But BloatyNosy is the only app I came across, which gets me this error, so I guess that the problem might be on their side (at least parts of it 😉).

You might be right, that it could be related to the msstore region setting. As I'm from Luxembourg, you can see in the winget logs I posted above, that the request goes to https://storeedgefd.dsx.mp.microsoft.com/v9.0/packageManifests/XPDCJG88N6FD16?Market=LU which then returns the 404 error.

If I get some time, I'll try to change the region and give it a try. I guess that the Market=LU is bound to the Windows regional settings? Or not?

[lishaoxia1985]

@LucNanquette Ok, i have known how to create the problem: ​1. Different region MsStore has different resource. 2. When you run "winget upgrade --all", winget will find all the installed Apps tagged with Install_through _Msstore in the current region MsStore. ​3. If winget can find all the installed Apps tagged with Install_through _Msstore in the current region MsStore, it has no problem. Otherwise, the problem appears. That's because the installed Apps tagged with Install_through _Msstore can't be found in the current region MsStore. ​4. about log:

• ​[REPO] Sending http GET request to: https://storeedgefd.dsx.mp.microsoft.com/v9.0/packageManifests/XPDCJG88N6FD16?Market=LU

​XPDCJG88N6FD16 is the app "BloatyNosy" package ID. If you change "LU" with the region in which you install BloatyNosy, the website can be visited well.

[pedro-hdias]

Hello. I'm also having the same problem. The temporary fixe is change my windows region or uninstalling the Microsoft store, right? isn't clear to me.

Thanks for answer.

[lishaoxia1985]

@pedro-hdias At first, you should check the logs and find which package/app produce this problem. Now you have 2 ways to solve this:

1. Uninstall the package/app directly, this is the best way.
2. You can try to change windows region to the region which you use when you install the package/app which produce the bugs. If you forget the region, the way is impossible.

I advise you use the first way. The second way is not very good.

[devRolige]

I have the same problem because the Amazon Alexa package is not available in my Microsoft Store region. Workaround - add the "--source winget" parameter.

I actually don't know why winget is querying the msstore, the Store has GUI apps.

I'm having the same issue with trying to upgrade Icaros from 3.3.1.0 to 3.3.2.

[MagicAndre1981]

I'm having the same issue with trying to upgrade Icaros from 3.3.1.0 to 3.3.2.

also try to add --source winget to the command

Thanks, but rather than trying to learn user-unfriendly workarounds, I manually downloaded and installed the newest version from the official website.

Maybe winget should automatically try --source winget as a fallback, instead of expecting the user to know to specify that.

It happened something similar to me and I found the problem by running winget upgrade --open-logs. Then I opened the log files one by one and searched for an error. I found a 404 error meaning that an app I had installed is not published anymore in Microsoft Store. After winget upgrade --all worked correctly.

[XoXolx]

I solved the problem at home by adding this directory in winget: Add-AppxPackage -Path https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix

[alexandreteles]

This is also reproducible on my side. It does not look like specific packages cause this error, as each report mentions a different application ID. In my case, the ID that breaks is the one for mpv.net. This indeed looks like a bug in the winget client itself:

Thanks for the tip. Found the issue in my case the package was mpv.net.

[myokeeh]

This isn't intuitive for someone less technical. Looking at logs, it led me to see the culprit was Open Live Writer (9NBLGGH5279M) no longer available through the Store. I uninstalled it and Winget started working again.

Ran into this with Icaros. Uninstall and reinstall didn't help - I still get the same error:

winget upgrade --id Xanashi.Icaros --source winget works fine for me.

Good to know there's some way to do it, but that's not intuitive at all. Why doesn't it just automatically use the working source?!

[MagicAndre1981]

looks like winget uses Windows store first. You can remove the store as source so that only winget repository is used.

And I already told you this the last time. Use clink which stores the commands and next time you type winget upgrade --id Xanashi.Icaros it shows --source winget for autocomplete so you see that you have to use this command parameter again.

Just had the same bug happening for me. Found the culprit by running winget upgrade --open-logs It was the app Paint 3D, with ID 9NBLGGH5FV99. Uninstalling Paint 3D has solved this problem for me.

Just leaving this here, since Paint 3D was preinstalled on a lot of Win 10 machines, and was depublished from the MS Store three days ago on Nov 4, 2024, so most likely a lot of users are going to experience this quite soon.

The only app that is listed when i run winget upgrade is Microsoft.Edge and when i try to upgrade it using winget upgrade --all it fails with:

Does this mean that i have to uninstall Microsoft Edge and then re-install it? 😆
