There is a known issue on the winget repository that the version of winget installed with new installations of Windows 11 is a broken version. See microsoft/winget-cli#3832 (comment).

As a result, our RNW dependency script (which relies on winget for dependency installation) fails to correctly install dependencies.

We should update our dependency script to check if the version of winget installed on the computer is the broken version, and if so, we should run the following command to install a working version:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/getwinget -OutFile winget.msixbundle
Add-AppPackage -ForceApplicationShutdown .\winget.msixbundle
del .\winget.msixbundle

Then the script can proceed as normal.

Script should have a version check for the broken version of winget, and if so, run the workaround.
