This change adds a second try to install packages or apply configurations when Invoke-CimMethod doesn't work. This can happen in certain scenarios (for example, when machine policies reduce the context of what Invoke-CimMethod can do for security reasons), leading to user frustration. This change is an attempt to help make the winget task more likely to succeed installing packages in user context (not system) by doing a second attempt to run the installation or application command but using Start-Process instead of Invoke-CimMethod.
