On Windows 11 Pro (22H2), I downloaded the
[https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/1.21.4/64/wget.exe latest version of
wget] for x64.  However, it won't load and doesn't show any error.

P.S. there's a warning: "some antivirus tools recognise wget-1.21.4-win32.zip
as potentially dangerous. The file that triggers the warning is
wget.exe.debug, which contains debugging symbols for wget.exe, and isn't even
executable. If your AV is giving you trouble, and you don't need the
documentation or debug symbols, you can download wget.exe directly, or switch
to a less broken security product."  Note that I downloaded the .exe for x64,
and I don't have any third-party antivirus.
