Cannot install winget as normal user from powershell : winget is not installed in $env:localappdata/microsoft/WindowsApps/

Trying to install winget as a non-admin user from powershell.

Here is what I did :

I first installed NuGet (because Winget said it needs it) :

PS D:\Users\test> Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Scope CurrentUser                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The package(s) come(s) from a package source that is not marked as trusted.
Are you sure you want to install software from 'https://onegetcdn.azureedge.net/providers/nuget-2.8.5.208.package.swidtag'?

Than I installed winget :

PS D:\Users\test> Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Scope CurrentUser

Untrusted repository
You are installing the modules from an untrusted repository. If you trust this repository, change its InstallationPolicy value by running the
Set-PSRepository cmdlet. Are you sure you want to install the modules from 'PSGallery'?

PS D:\Users\test>

But the $env:localappdata/microsoft/WindowsApps/ directory is not even there and therefore Winget is not installed into it :

PS D:\Users\test> winget -v
winget : The term 'winget' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a
