WinGet doesn't work via Schedule Tasks - Build Pipe Line

Running given PowerShell script, kicked off by a schedule task, Win-Get doesn't seem to work. When I run the script locally it works as expected.

Missing output text file, so download doesn't work, see example script below.

If ($App.Enabled -eq "True" -and $App.WinGet -eq "True") {
Write-Verbose "Download Method for $Product is WinGet" -Verbose
$File = "$Product" + ".txt"
WinGet show "$Product" | Out-File $File
WinGet show "$Product" | Out-File $File
(Get-Content $File| Select-Object -Skip 2) | Set-Content $File
$PsYaml = ConvertFrom-Yaml (cat -raw $File)
$Version = $PsYaml.Version
$URL = $PsYaml.Installer.'Download Url'
$Source = "$PackageName" + "" + "$Version" + "" + "$Architecture" + "." + "$InstallerType"

As it ships as an MSIX package, it is required to run under a user context that has registered it. Is your scheduled task set to run as you and only when you are logged in?

Great catch, its running as SYSTEM whenever logged in or not. Hmm maybe better to use AutoLogon and shortcut in StartUp folder instead.
