GnuCash is already 64 bit.

Not sure why you are asking a chatbot for an answer you hope to be 
correct. Those things are for 'entertainment purposes only'.

Unfortunately, I can't help further as I don't use Windows, but it 
sounds like messing around with Winget might have affected the path 
where GnuCash is looking to find Perl.
