At least in win11.

Not sure about win10, which didn't have it installed by default, but could be now? None of my win 10 machines are recent enough fresh installs to confirm, and have winget (and choco) installed because I installed it so I can install stuff easily.

On Windows 10 it was automatically installed as an update using - wait for it - the Microsoft Store.

Yes, the system-wide package manager was distributed as a package in the desktop store. 🤌
