My experience (and path that lead to this) was realizing that a fresh install of Windows 11 gave me PowerShell and not Terminal in the Win+X menu.
WinGet would... launch, but provide no output. And of course, it was my first time trying to use WinGet in general...
A few reboots later suddenly Win+X had Terminal and WinGet started working, and on a subsequent reinstall in a VM I spotted that, yeah, apparently all the extra WinGet, Terminal, etc stuff all has to be pushed from the MS Store instead of Windows Update.

Total pain in the ass.
