Not so much a question, more of a request. Can we please have native support in Intune for deploying winget-sourced applications?

    if we could just get the SYSTEM account to be able to access/use winget.... that'd be SWELL

      From my testing, you can, although it's clunky to say the least. It just seems that path to the winget executable is not available to the local system account. Getting a bit creative with Powershell, it's possible to just search for winget.exe and then supply the full path when running it.

        I have tried by using the full path to it, but then it cannot interact with (update) most installed apps and errors trying to install anything. I kind of understand making UWP apps live solely in the user-space, but it seems like winget should at least be avail for x86/x64 apps system wide.
