@vaughan-naidoo we've seen this error on a few different machines. We believe it is related to Delivery Optimization and possibly enterprise managed settings. You can try to change your winget settings to specify "wininet" for the download mechanism.

Example from settings.json:

{
    "$schema": "https://aka.ms/winget-settings.schema.json",

    // For documentation on these settings, see: https://aka.ms/winget-settings
    // "source": {
    //    "autoUpdateIntervalInMinutes": 5
    // },

    "network": {"downloader": "wininet"}
    }
}

Thank you @denelon that fixed it.

Thank you @denelon this fixed the issue for me too.

for others with the same issue, I didn't have a settings.jason. I had to type winget.exe settings and this created the file in the following path $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Packages\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState

then I updated based on denelon's post above and I am loving winget.exe now.
