Brief description of your issue

I don't know exactly when this started to happen, but I'm pretty sure that it was after I ran some cleanup with CCleaner and BCUninstaller when I had some issues to uninstall a few of my programs.

Now, every time I try to run winget install or winget upgrade it fails with this error. When install, it fails but continues anyway.

I know this was probably my fault, but still, I think it would help the community to share what to do when it happens, or better yet: to allow winget to recover itself when such things happens.

I tried to do some things already, such as upgrading, downgrading (the winget cli), but none helped. I also tried to uninstall the "App Installer" but I could not find a way to do it, so that I could try to reinstall.

I also noticed that a previous issue was opened for this, but the solution mentioned isn't working for me: #1066

Steps to reproduce

I'm not sure. But I would be happy to provide any information required.

Expected behavior
