Nothing on https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix - can't update winget source #5368
Description
Brief description of your issue
This has been discussed before here
#1656
But there is a twist now: source file is unavailable for download.
Steps to reproduce
Reproducing the error
I try to update the sources and get this error:
1. Any use of `winget `gives `Failed in attempting to update the source: winget`
2. `winget source update --name winget` gives a `CANCELLED` response
3. Winget will still try to run an upgrade or install and is sometimes successful
My guess for number 3 is that the successful tries download things from the MS Store source, but when the pacage comes from the winget source things get interrupted.
Expected behavior
That I can update the sources the usual way.
An if I try manually, that the file is available for download.
Actual behavior
winget source update --name winget gives a CANCELLED response.
Trying the solution on [#1656]
Anyway, one of the solutions given in [#1656] was to manually download the source file from
https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix
The thing is that, now, there is nothing there to download anymore. I get a blank page and no file is downloaded. Microsoft is moving things around, perhaps?
If I try just
https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/
I get
<Error> <Code>ResourceNotFound</Code> <Message> The specified resource does not exist. RequestId:ce799ef1-601e-0060-7d77-a9ec45000000 Time:2025-04-09T17:49:06.5926181Z </Message> </Error>
And if I try just https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/ I get a 404:
