Brief description of your issue

I was attempting to download some apps (updated PowerShell among other things) and every time I did a command that required the internet (downloading the apps), it would hit me with this error:
Failed in attempting to update the source: winget An unexpected error occurred while executing the command: InternetOpenUrl() failed. 0x80072efd : unknown error

Steps to reproduce

  • Do any winget command involving internet (winget update, winget install etc.)

Expected behavior

I expected the apps to install without issues

Actual behavior

Failed in attempting to update the source: winget An unexpected error occurred while executing the command: InternetOpenUrl() failed. 0x80072efd : unknown error

                      Brief description of your issue
                      I was attempting to download some apps (updated PowerShell among other things) and every time I did a command that required the internet (downloading the apps), it would hit me with this error:
                      Failed in attempting to update the source: winget An unexpected error occurred while executing the command: InternetOpenUrl() failed. 0x80072efd : unknown error
                      Steps to reproduce
                      • Do any winget command involving internet (winget update, winget install etc.)
                      Expected behavior
                      I expected the apps to install without issues
                      Actual behavior
                      Failed in attempting to update the source: winget An unexpected error occurred while executing the command: InternetOpenUrl() failed. 0x80072efd : unknown error
