Access denied while uninstalling preinstalled windows app

[FaserF]

Brief description of your issue

While running a winget uninstall command I am getting a access denied. I am pretty sure it worked some weeks ago without issues.

Steps to reproduce

Sign in with a new user without administrator permissions. Restart the PC and then run a uninstallation command to uninstall preinstalled software.
It works without any issues for manually installed winget apps, but cant get it to work for any preinstalled windows applications.

winget uninstall Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Found Microsoft 365 (Office) [Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub_8wekyb3d8bbwe]
Starting package uninstallation...
Unexpected error running command:
0x80070005 : Access denied

I'm having a similar issue. These look related to #2928

If I install the Intune Company Portal with or without winget I then can't uninstall it using unelevated winget.
