2023-02-12 04:37
Microsoft's WinGet package manager is currently having problems installing or upgrading packages after WinGet CDN's SSL/TLS certificate expired.
The problem appears to be connected to WinGet CDN's SSL/TLS certificate that has now expired.
Until Microsoft renews the SSL certificate, WinGet users can rest easy knowing there's an alternate workaround to address the situation.
The winget tool source command enables users to manage sources for Windows Package Manager.
With the source command, one can add, list, edit, delete, reset, or export repositories used by WinGet.
"You can always run winget source reset -force to get back to defaults," advises GitHub user Adam Langbert.
