Windows Package Manager 1.9.25200
This release represents our second stable Windows Package Manager 1.9 build for Windows 10 (1809+), and Windows 11.
This release includes the ability to enable experimental features unless blocked by Group Policy Objects (GPO)
Sixel support is here to display icons and a new progress visualization. To try out this new feature, you must be using a terminal that supports sixels, such as the latest Windows Terminal Preview build. To enable this feature, include the following snipping in your settings file:
{ "$schema": "https://aka.ms/winget-settings.schema.json", "visual": { "enableSixels": true, "progressBar": "sixel" } }WinGet Configuration files with DSC Resources requiring elevation can now be handled more gracefully. The "Configure Self Elevation" experimental feature can be enabled with the following snippet in your settings file:
{ "$schema": "https://aka.ms/winget-settings.schema.json", "experimentalFeatures": { "configureSelfElevate": true } }Use "securityContext: elevated" under "directives:" for any resources requiring administrator. WinGet will trigger a single User Account Control (UAC) prompt when the configuration is run under user context. Resources requiring elevation are run elevated, and the rest are run in user context. The following example shows how the .NET Tutorial - Hello World in 5 minutes will be updated to provide a better user experience.

- Fixes a bug causing a crash. MSVC's C++ STL had a breaking change in mutex, which causes binaries compiled with newer tooling to crash when using an older VCRuntime (msvcp140.dll). See: microsoft/STL#4730
