Your Windows 10 install may be out of date if it's missing this API, try running the Update Assistant.

note: also try running winget upgrade in an elevated command prompt and then upgrade any Visual C++ redistributables that winget detects as being outdated. (TL;DR hint: winget upgrade --all )
if your command prompt shows an error that it cannot find a winget command then your Windows 10 installation is really WAY out of date.
Closing as this appears to be an issue related to using Windows 7/8 or a very old Windows 10 install. All of which are unsupported.
What exactly are the supported versions of Windows? I can't find this info in the Readme, the GitHub wiki, or the project website. This error started occuring on Windows 10 LTSB as of 29.0. 28.1.2 worked well.
According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wow64apiset/nf-wow64apiset-iswow64process2 Windows 10 1511 or Windows Server 2016 and up should be supported. The oldest LTSC version is still 1507 however so that won't work.
My LTSB is definitely based on a later version. I want to say 1803, but I can check precisely which version later this week.
Please report back, it would be annoying if the Microsoft docs are wrong there. Also please check this is the actual error and you're not getting one about a different function.
It appears the current documentation is incorrect: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/sdk-api/pull/995
Apologies, I was mistaken. The OS is LTSB 2016, based on 16.07. So this falls in the affected range from the wrong documentation.
