Warning: Winget is not installed or outdated.

I got this warning message:

Winget is not installed or outdated. This may prevent Win11Debloat from removing certain apps.

Any idea how to improve?

Win11Debloat requires Winget version 1.4 or later to uninstall both Edge and OneDrive. Windows includes Winget by default, but the pre-installed version may be older than the required v1.4. If you don't care about removing these applications you can safely ignore this warning.

You can check whether Winget is installed and it's version by running the command winget -v in powershell.

If it's installed it will return it's version number, which looks something like this:

Winget can be installed and updated via the Microsoft Store. This is the specific application: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh4nns1

Thanks for this detailed reply!
Unfortunately, my system is completely missing winget, also MS Store is missing and I can't download that app.

Got the same warning when running the W11Debloat on a fresh installed W11pro 23H2. As I didn't want to connect it to the Internet, I downloaded the current Winget and the WinUI package via another machine and then installed both using Add-AppxPackage.
See Install WinGet on Windows Sandbox for more details. (I did not need to install the VCLibs on my 23H2.)
