Steps to reproduce
Open a non-admin command prompt (tested in CMD.exe and Terminal/PowerShell) and run
winget list --scope=machine
Result:
Failed to open the predefined source; please report to winget maintainers.
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
0x80070005 : unknown error
Expected behavior
Something that is not unknown error? A meaningful error message that the user needs admin rights?
Actual behavior
Failed to open the predefined source; please report to winget maintainers.
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
0x80070005 : unknown error

Any news here? Have the same error plus install --scope machine works neither.
