Its possible the IT admin misconfigured, but blocking the terminal or the store would not make sense at this company since most employees need them on a daily basis.

    That's definitely an issue with your IT department. My work Windows laptop came with the terminal accessible.

    Maybe they've updated their security policies? Could be to prevent users from installing unapproved software via winget, etc.

    I have definitely never done that myself, if anyone asks ...

    God where do you people even come from? Coming out of the woodwork to free-associate about some incompetence of an imagined IT department when Microsoft fucks up this OS every other day and when Teams and Sheets Web and Windows 11 is the way it is.
