All WinGet does is download the installer and run it with the /passive /norestart which is the default way to silently install an msi.

If do this yourself, you'll see the exact same behavior -

PS> iwr 'https://nodejs.org/dist/v22.0.0/node-v22.0.0-x64.msi' -OutFile 'Nodejs.msi';
PS> .\Nodejs.msi /passive /norestart

| Restart terminal to update PATH

PS> npm
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1205
  throw err;

}

This means that it's an issue within the NodeJS installer and isn't something WinGet can fix.

This appears to be normal program operation, not quite a bug. If this is in error, please @ me and I'll revert.

Testing the new version node-v22.1.0-x64.msi is normal.
