Our goal is to use the public winget sources and also our own winget source, where our own developments are stored. This works perfectly with the native winget command—winget searches both the public and our own repo and finds all applications.

However, with the winget autoupdater, only the public winget source is searched. As soon as we define our own winget source via ADMX, the public source is no longer searched and we get the error described above.

Our problem would be solved if winget autoupdate used all sources that are already known to the operating system as winget sources.

Isn't it possible, as the original winget command does when updating, to specify no fixed source at all, so that all defined sources in Windows are searched automatically? That would be the simplest solution.
