General

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to Settings (As in, general windows settings) > Apps > Installed Apps
  2. Search for PowerToys
  3. Next steps apply only if you installed from WinGet - I have no idea what happens otherwise
  4. Go to a terminal that works with WinGet in your favorite terminal emulator.
  5. Type in "winget list --exact --id Microsoft.Powertoys" (if I got the command parameters wrong, please let me know, but even a general "winget list" produces the behaivior)

✔️ Expected Behavior

In both step 2 and step 6, you should see an entry for PowerToys.

❌ Actual Behavior

No entry for PowerToys in settings:

No entry for PowerToys in WinGet:

Additional Information

Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview Version 24H2

There still is a Start Menu shortcut, aka I can still open it. It just doesn't recognize the fact that this is an app.

Other Software

WinGet version v1.11.320-preview
