What You Are Seeing?

I am no longer able to update almost anything, but i can't understand why. A very small group of package still updates, but most of them don't.
It seems to me that the problem originates from dotnetfx, but i am not sure.
I tried uninstalling the package completely, but after it reinstalled, the problems persisted.
I tried to install the 4.7.2 version alongside the 4.8.0 version, but it didn't make a difference.
I don't know what to do anymore.
This is the result of a choco upgrade all (everyday the list of packages not updating gets bigger):

Chocolatey upgraded 3/155 packages. 18 packages failed.
 See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).

Upgraded:
 - ccleaner v6.16.10662
 - obsidian v1.4.12
 - teamviewer v15.45.4

Warnings:
 - brave - brave is pinned. Skipping pinned package.
 - GoogleChrome - GoogleChrome is pinned. Skipping pinned package.

We have documentation around this issue.

I'm going to go ahead and close this, but we can reopen it if necessary.

hi, i run the following trying to fix the problem:

choco install dotnetfx --version=4.8.0.20220524 --ignore-dependencies --force
choco install dotnetfx --version=4.7.2.20180712 --ignore-dependencies --force

but i ended up breaking even more things, apparently:

what can i try? could you kindly please help me out? thanks

[pauby]

@aetonsi As this isn't an issue in Chocolatey CLI, can you please ask over on Discord?

[aetonsi]

hi, apparently it was chocolatey related, since by uninstalling chocolatey then reinstalling every package again (except for the choco ones) with the -n parameter solved my problem

[dazzo31]

Run the MS .NET Framework Repair Tool, worked for me
