Brief description of your issue

i know, you've seen this same damn bug reported countless times but this one is different because i did my thorough research into no little amount of the same reports, hear me out:

i believe i have tried every publicly available ways to troubleshoot this without using vpn but still to no avail, winget consistently fails to update its own source;

i have noticed winget runs flawlessly in a fresh installation of windows 10 21h2 but once i updated to 22h2, the moment the 22h2 install package reach 100% and conclude, winget breaks and start to show "Failed in attempting to update the source: winget" in response to any winget install command and along with that comes

An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
InternetOpenUrl() failed.
0x80072efd : unknown error

administrator powershell,
winget source reset --force; winget source update,
firewall,
SSL 3.0 + TLS 1.2,
replace source https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache with https://winget.azureedge.net/cache,
ipconfig /flushdns,
troubleshoot internet connections,
update AppInstaller package in microsoft store,

i've tried it all, as of today this looks hopeless so far

I'm trying to see if this works: Can you manually download the source packages from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source2.msix, double-click to install and see if that works?
