Steps to reproduce
When updating packages in AllUsers scope, the Update-PSResource cmdlet complains (with ErrorRecord) about not finding packages from repositories. Packages from PSGallery are searched from local repository and vice versa.
When package name is provided, no error messages occur.
The problem does not occur when packages are updated on CurrentUser scope
- PowerShell 5.1 complains about not finding local packages from PSGallery.
- PowerShell 7 complains about not finding public packages from local repository.
Expected behavior
Update-PSResource -Scope AllUsers
no error messages
Actual behavior
Update-PSResource -Scope AllUsers
Update-PSResource: Package with name CompletionPredictor could not be found in repository 'LocalRepo'.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with Update-PSResource -Scope AllUsers while multiple repositories are registered, using the PowerShell 5.1 or 7 environments described. Compare behavior when a package name is supplied and when updating CurrentUser scope. Done means AllUsers updates no longer report packages missing from repositories that do not contain them.
