Error Updating `winget` source - No more endpoints available from mapper

[Trenly]

Brief description of your issue

I was on an enterprise managed PC running Win10, and then upgraded to Win11. On Win10, winget was working without issue. After the upgrade to Win11, the winget source fails to update

I will say that this is likely not a WinGet specific issue, but I wasn't sure where to put it so thought I would start here. Additionally, clearer messaging around the failure would be appreciated as opposed to just Cancelled

Steps to reproduce

Unknown;

Expected behavior

Sources to update correctly

Actual behavior

PS C:\Users\REDACTED> winget source update --verbose --logs

@denelon - I was correct in my assumption that this wasn't a winget-specific issue, as it was affecting any MSIX installs and any store installs. I'm not sure if you want to keep this open for anything, or if this should be closed as there is a fix and it isn't directly related to WinGet. Unless you want me to add something to the troubleshooting doc?

After some troubleshooting, it was caused by Windows Defender failing to load; Resolution steps found on MS Answers - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_11-performance/windows-firewall-0x800706d9/75c015d5-259d-42ed-bd93-1486ae039ee8?messageId=092332b2-9dbd-453a-9946-1431f88e432a
