Description

Brief description of your issue

I am not able to install the latest version of winget from Github using PowerShell Command on Windows 10.

Steps to reproduce

powershell -command "Add-AppxPackage https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/latest/download/Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle"

Expected behavior

Should install the latest version of winget

Actual behavior

I get the following error:
`Error: Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073D19, An error occurred because a user was logged off.
Windows cannot install package Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.21.2771.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe because this package

Research direction

Start with the PowerShell Add-AppxPackage command and the reported Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.7 dependency error on Windows 10 build 19043. No repository file or test is named; done would require establishing whether installation works for the stated service-account environment and documenting or addressing the dependency failure.
