Brief description of your issue

This is goofy. I needed to install Zoom. So I went to the search field to the right of my Start button and typed "winget install zoom" Expecting it to install zoom, or launch the command windows with the appropriate opportunity to choose the right app.

But instead of getting that, i am navigated to "projecting this PC" in system settings. wtf?
