I'm attempting to download wget because a provisioner I am using can't retrieve certain information without it (naturally this issue doesn't come up at work but at work, I have a Mac, at home, I have a 64bit windows 10 machine). I have tried the wget.exe files from https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/ and SourceForge but no luck. Are there any current issues with wget on Windows 10, if not does anyone have any ideas what my issues may be?

There are two ways to use Wget on Windows 10. This is a command line tool so it doesn't have a GUI. You access it via the Command Prompt. To use it from the Command Prompt, you can either add it as an environment variable, or you can manually go to the directory the Wget app is in, and use it from there.
There are many alternatives to Wget for Windows if you are looking for a replacement. The best Windows alternative is aria2, which is both free and Open Source.
GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS, the most widely used Internet protocols. It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts, cron jobs, terminals without X-Windows support, etc.
eternallybored build will crash when you are downloading a large file.
This can be avoided by disabling LFH (Low Fragmentation Heap) by GlobalFlag registry.
