Research direction
The report does not identify a command, file, or test. Begin by obtaining a reproducible winget CLI invocation that freezes and capture what operation is in progress; use the Ctrl-C behavior as a clue. Done would require a confirmed fix and regression coverage, but the issue needs reproduction details first.
