UniGetUI Version

Windows version, edition, and architecture
Windows 10 x64
Describe your issue
I had issues with my Client Firewall. UniGetUI reported a disfunctional WinGet. Even more: After The Winget PowerShell repair script, which was run by UniGetUIs request, failed (Could not download), Uniget false reported that Winget was repaired successfully.
So this are 2 bugs. 1 is Issues with internet connection lead to false reporting of broken WinGet and the return value of the WinGet repair script not being passed or evaluated properly.
After disabling the firewall filter on my network adapter, UniGetUI was fine.
