    Get-AppxPackage Throws Error

    Post by gbmacman2 »

    I cant say if this issue exists in all 24H2, but I patched my installed preview release this morning (KB5041571) and this doesn't work inside PS Studio. This command works perfectly in Terminal and PowerShell ISE. NOT related, but winget hangs on confirmation if never run before (also works in terminal or PS ISE).

    Product: PowerShell Studio 2024 (64 Bit)
    Build: v5.8.248
    OS: Windows 11.0.26100.1457 (Release Preview 24H2 Enterprise)
    PS Version(s): 5.1.26100.1, 7.4.5
    Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)
    1. Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Sort-Object -Unique | Select-Object Name
    >> Running (Untitled) Script Selection...
    >> Platform: V5 64Bit (STA) (Elevated)
    ERROR: Get-AppxPackage : The type initializer for '<Module>' threw an exception.

    Preview versions of Windows are not supported and therefore are not tested with our products. Only official Windows releases are subject to support.

    The error message is from the command, not PowerShell Studio. We do not have any control over WinGet.
