Access denied (0xc0000005) when running under Windows 10 version 17763
Brief description of your issue
When running winget --list with scope machine on a Windows 10x86 build 17763, it crashes.
The reason is because PopulateIndexFromMSIX (https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/blob/6c54251308f91125f8fc8044f70fac69459295fe/src/AppInstallerRepositoryCore/Microsoft/PredefinedInstalledSourceFactory.cpp#L61) calls FindProvisionedPackages. This however seems to return a null value which is not catch by the catch hresult and is therefore a nullptr.
Looking at documentation, it does seem the minimum build would be 19041, not 17763, as stated in docs.
Windows 10, version 2004 (introduced in 10.0.19041.0)

Steps to reproduce
Run winget --list with scope machine
Expected behavior
Not crash, return the base products. Since that specific os didnt have MSStore, it should be empty.
Actual behavior
Crash
Environment

^ That crash happens with the package itself being null, here's the FindProvisionedPackages call.
