Get-WinGetPackage in 1.29.380 fails with "Failed to create instance: -2147023174" in an elevated PowerShell session

Relevant area(s)

PowerShell Module

Relevant command(s)

Get-WinGetPackage. I did not test other commands, so those might be affected as well.

Brief description of your issue

Get-WinGetPackage in 1.29.380 fails with "Failed to create instance: -2147023174" in an elevated PowerShell session.

Steps to reproduce

In an elevated PowerShell session (tested with Windows Server 2025, the built-in Administrator account and the built-in PowerShell version):

Uninstall-Module Microsoft.WinGet.Client
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -RequiredVersion 1.29.280
Get-WinGetPackage

Note that Get-WinGetPackage outputs the list of installed packages. Now let's try the same with 1.29.380:

Uninstall-Module Microsoft.WinGet.Client
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -RequiredVersion 1.29.380
Get-WinGetPackage

Expected behavior

Get-WinGetPackage behaves like in 1.29.280.

Actual behavior

Get-WinGetPackage : Failed to create instance: -2147023174
At line:1 char:1

Get-WinGetPackage works in a non-elevated PowerShell session. Reverting to 1.29.280 (see above) fixes the issue.
