Brief description of your issue
After the new version 1.12.350 of the PowerShell module was released, our Autopilot script began failing. This script installs the latest version of the module and then runs the
Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Latest -Verbose -Force
command to set up WinGet and its prerequisites. Once the update rolled out, the process started failing with the following error:
PS C:\>Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Latest -Verbose -Force
VERBOSE: Creating MTA thread
VERBOSE: Running winget.exe with --version
Repair-WinGetPackageManager : Could not find Windows Runtime type 'Microsoft.Management.Deployment.PackageManager'.

Steps to reproduce
This happened on Windows 11 25H2 10.0.26200.6899 devices but I was able to reproduce it even on a 23H2 Windows Sandbox:
PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount> Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force
PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount> install-module microsoft.winget.client
NuGet provider is required to continue
PowerShellGet requires NuGet provider version '2.8.5.201' or newer to interact with NuGet-based repositories. The NuGet provider must be available in 'C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies' or
'C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\AppData\Local\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies'. You can also install the NuGet provider by running 'Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force'. Do you want PowerShellGet
to install and import the NuGet provider now?

Expected behavior
The same success flow we get with the previous version of the module:
