### UniGetUI Version

2026.1.9

### Windows version, edition, and architecture

Windows Server 2019 x64

### Describe your issue

I have 3 systems running UniGetUI... two Win10 and one WinSvr2019

On the Windows Server, which does not have winget installed, it is matching the wrong packages (I have it set to use pinget.exe as that is the only option on Server 2019)

It is matching Chrome Remote Desktop to Windows Remote Desktop and SignalRGB to Signal Messenger

Both are installed on the Win10 PC's and don't show in the update list, but those systems have winget installed and I'm not forcing it to use pinget for the CLI

### Steps to reproduce the issue

Install mentioned packages and see the mismatch when configured the way I mentioned and on Server 2019

### UniGetUI Log

```text
n/a
```

### Package Managers Logs

```text
Manager WinGet with version:
Pinget CLI Version: pinget v0.1.0
Using Pinget CLI helper (JSON parsing)
