Rest API endpoint is not found. Possibly related to removal of Paint 3D from MS Store

[LonkToThePast]

Brief description of your issue

When attempting to run winget update --all, this error will occur:

Failed when searching source: msstore An unexpected error occurred while executing the command: 0x8a150044 : The rest API endpoint is not found.

I started experiencing this issue the same day that Paint 3D was removed from the Microsoft Store (2024-11-04), and I still have it installed, so this is possibly an issue with it trying to search for updates for Paint 3D, which no longer exists

winget update will function for non msstore packages, displaying Failed when searching source; results will not be included: msstore and ignoring all packages from the msstore.

Steps to reproduce

run winget update --all while the package for Paint 3D is installed

Expected behavior

winget update --all should update all packages, ignoring those which no longer exist

Actual behavior

Failed when searching source: msstore An unexpected error occurred while executing the command: 0x8a150044 : The rest API endpoint is not found. will be displayed and the command will fail

Think I'm experiencing a similar issue. Running winget search without updating source first results in the following

But running winget source update first seems to work. Then running winget search runs without the failure.

@LonkToThePast try running this from CMD:

wsreset

Also, have you tried running the DISM Cleanup-Image commands?

[LonkToThePast]

@davidldennison wsreset does nothing as I don't have the msstore app itself installed at the moment, but that was not an issue up until November 4th, and I was able to install msstore apps from winget to substitute. I have not tried the DISM Cleanup-Image commands, but I will try them and get back to you

[LonkToThePast]

@davidldennison The DISM cleanup-image commands result in a no component store corruption detected
