Microsoft WinGet v1.30.90 Preview Ships: Resume Fixes, Manifest Bump, and Security Hardening
Microsoft released the fourth preview build of its WinGet v1.30 train, packing in manifest schema updates, admin uninstall security hardening, and critical crash fixes for unattended installs. The build specifically targets automation workflows by resolving an HRESULT 0x8000ffff error that broke the combination of --disable-interactivity and the experimental Resume feature across three consecutive previews. Behind the scenes, Microsoft is finalizing test infrastructure upgrades, migrating NUnit to v4, and enforcing stricter per-user versus machine-wide package boundaries ahead of the stable release. Enthusiasts can test the preview immediately via the winget source, though Microsoft cautions that the Resume feature remains too unstable for production environments.
