Failed when searching source: winget

I tried to run the command below on Windows 11 23H2 (en-us_windows_11_business_editions_version_23h2_updated_april_2024_x64_dvd_349cd577) but hit a snag.

PS C:\prj> winget install Microsoft.PowerShell

Failed in attempting to update the source: winget Failed when searching source: winget An unexpected error occurred while executing the command: 0x8a15000f : Data required by the source is missing No packages were found among the working sources.

The fix is fairly simple, just do an update of Windows Store, yes update Windows Store

Doing winget install fails with a message "Failed when searching source: msstore An unexpected error occurred while executing the command: 0x8a15005e : The server certificate did not match any of the expected values."

I tried to install Windows Terminal using the command below -

C:\>winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal

But got the following error message instead.

Failed when searching source: msstore An unexpected error occurred while executing the command: 0x8a15005e : The server certificate did not match any of the expected values.

The following packages were found among the working sources.
Please specify one of them using the --source option to proceed.

Windows Terminal Microsoft.WindowsTerminal winget

Reason:
This is normally caused by SSL inspection used in enterprise environments.
Workaround:

C:\>winget settings --enable BypassCertificatePinningForMicrosoftStore
