Winget does not update

Comment: #3525 (comment) helped

Thanks @HenkPoley

What resolved "Failed in attempting to update the source: winget" for me:

Download this file: https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix (e.g. with Edge)
Open the Downloads folder
Right-click, choose install, follow the wizard to install the package.
No clue why this is necessary. Source list remains the same:

PS C:> winget source list
Name Argument

msstore https://storeedgefd.dsx.mp.microsoft.com/v9.0
winget https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache
Yes, I did run the command mention at the top here: #3652 (comment)

But I was running a more recent version anyways (1.5? 1.6.??).

This fix can be automated, and thus winget could be self healing if it performed this action upon seeing that error:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix -OutFile $env:TEMP\source.msix
Add-AppxPackage $env:TEMP\source.msix

Yeah, Adam, that would be a good feature to have indeed.
