Steps to reproduce

I was unable to invoke any of the commands listed by Get-Command -Module Microsoft.WinGet.Client ¹ until I invoked that command. As an example, Get-WinGetPackage returned the undermentioned Error XML.

Expected behavior

$? should have returned $True after before invoking Get-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet.

Actual behavior

It returned $False until I'd invoked Get-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet.
