I eventually figured out it was being blocked by my firewall under appinstallercli.exe.
I expected the winget application to have the word winget in the executable name or installation directory, but neither of them do which is why it took so long for me to find out where it was being blocked.

I would like to suggest renaming the executable to winget-installer-cli.exe or something, and maybe having better error messages for when it's blocked by a firewall?

Lexi Robinson (@Lexicality) we don't get an explicit indication that the firewall is blocking the connection. I'm looking at what we can do in the error text, and getting an update at docs.microsoft.com.

The error codes of InternetOpenUrl should get mapped to a descriptive string and displayed. E.g. 0x80072efd maps to ERROR_INTERNET_CANNOT_CONNECT. I had a similar error the other day where the TLS certificate of a download was invalid. I found out by looking up the error code. "unknown error" suggests it's a generic error code but it's actually not.

I had error 0x80072f7d in winget.
Strange fix for this is enabling tls 1.2 in internet explorer settings.
