A pair of folders have appeared in Apps/Advanced App Settings/ App Execution Aliases
"WinGet Com server" and "WinGet MCP server"
What are they and can the be safely uninstalled ?
If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

MS SayWinGet is a command line tool enabling users to discover, install, upgrade, remove and configure applications on Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2025 computers. This tool is the client interface to the Windows Package Manager service.
Just ignore it/them.

There's these two harmless little directories on the hard drive. They take up practically no space. Why do people get the urge to uninstall them? At least the Op asked (although he could have just used a search engine), rather than just deleting stuff and then complaining that windows has stopped working AGAIN.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1
