How to see the scope of an already winget installed package?

Question

How can I see the install scope of an already installed package, that has been previously with installed using winget?

winget install --scope machine -i -e xxxx 

Answer 1

Use winget list with --scope machine, but note that you need to run from an elevated session (not necessary for --scope user):

# REQUIRES ELEVATION
winget list --scope machine

Update:

• There's now an official PowerShell module, Microsoft.WinGet.Client which provides the same functionality as winget.exe in a PowerShell-friendly and therefore object-based manner; for instance, the equivalent of winget.exe list is Get-WinGetPackage. You can install the module by running, e.g.,
  Install-Module -Scope CurrentUser Microsoft.WinGet.Client.

• However, as of module version 1.9.25190, there does not seem to be functionality that is equivalent to --scope machine.
