scoop json error

See original GitHub issue

Hi, i don’t know exactly how BCU analyzes the scoop packages, but since the day i installed scoop, when BCU scans my system it reports a JSON error during the scoop phase:

System.Text.Json.JsonException
'W' is an invalid start of a value. Path: $ | LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 0.
   at System.Text.Json.ThrowHelper.ReThrowWithPath(ReadStack& state, JsonReaderException ex)
