[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 987855, member: 32260"] The only way to allow Winget is to set <More SRP ...> <Block AppInstaller> = ON. Winget is blocked as a side effect of blocking AppInstaller by a very special SRP rule, which cannot allow whitelisting. But you can bypass SRP by running Winget via CMD (Administrator) or PowerShell (Administrator). You can also use Winget when it is located in another (whitelisted) folder. Winget is a LOLBin. It was used in the wild to download malware just like Bitsadmin or Curl. It is not necessary, except when you want to download desktop applications (not UWP apps) directly from Microsoft Store. There is no advantage to do this because such applications are not signed by Microsoft (on the contrary to UWP apps) and they are not updated via Microsoft Store updates. Furthermore, desktop applications can be downloaded normally (from Softpedia, developer website, etc.). [/QUOTE]
