Install Winget-AutoUpdate via Powershell and GPO issue

[workpush]

Hello everyone,

I want to use Winget-AutoUpdate keep the (winget) software within our domain on our desktop clients up-to-date in system and user context. The domain users do not have Admin rights.

1. For that I created a powershell script

#Install Winget-Autoupdate
$WAUParameters= "-Silent -InstallUserContext -DoNotUpdate -NotificationLevel Full -MaxLogFiles 4 -MaxLogSize 2097152 -DisableWAUAutoUpdate -DesktopShortcut -StartMenuShortcut -UpdatesAtLogon"
Start-Process "powershell.exe" -Argument "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ""& '$PSScriptRoot\Winget-AutoUpdate-Install.ps1' $WAUParameters""" -Wait -Verb RunAs

and saved that to \domain.lan\SYSVOL\domain.lan\scripts\WAU\installWAU.ps1

2. Download the latest release(1.19.1) from: https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate/releases
   and extract the Winget-AutoUpdate-Install.ps1', etc. directly in the directory \domain.lan\SYSVOL\domain.lan\scripts\WAU\

3. Create a GPO:
   Computer Policies->Windows Settings->Scripts->Startup->Powershell and put \domain.lan\SYSVOL\domain.lan\scripts\WAU\installWAU.ps1 there

So far, so good. It installs WAU and the tasks are registered:
C:\ProgramData\Winget-AutoUpdate\logs\WAU-Installer.log is saying:

23:27:28 - -> WAU Installation succeeded!

23:27:29 - Skip running Winget-AutoUpdate
23:27:29 - End of process.

Whenever I log in as a domain user would except WAU to update the Software. I can see the task is executed in "Task Scheduler", WAU->Winget-AutoUpdate. But it is running forever and in C:\ProgramData\Winget-AutoUpdate\logs\ no other log file is created. I also receive no notifications - even if I click the Desktop icon or the start menu. If I start the icons/application with right click->execute as admin does not make a difference.

If I run the Gui.ps1 as DomainUser(rightclick->execute) or AdminUser(powershell as admin, navigate to GUI.ps1 directory and execute .\GUI.ps") from the WAU-Configurator, both are showing: "WAU is currently installed v1.19.1.".

Any has a hint, what is going wrong here? Might this be a system/user context issue?

Thank you very much!

PS: I also have the other issue to install software via winget-install: Romanitho/Winget-Install#102
