Description
I have a legacy GVFS install that seems to be flakey or obsolete. The problem is, I am not able to upgrade GVFS using the given command line (Git did upgrade without issue). It says a required service is busy or unavailable, but does not indicate which service is problematic. Is there a log or system event category I can look at to get a better idea of why this is failing?
C:\Windows\System32>winget install --id Microsoft.VFSforGit
