What You Are Seeing?

I did choco upgrade -y all and now Chocolatey GUI shows all these upgraded packages as out of date (shows old versions).
I tried "Check for outdated packages (forced)" but it didn't help.

What is Expected?

Chocolatey GUI is in sync with choco outdated.

How Did You Get This To Happen?
  1. choco upgrade -y all as admin
  2. start Chocolatey Gui as admin

Research direction

Start by reproducing the mismatch using choco upgrade -y all, then launch Chocolatey GUI as administrator and compare its outdated-package view with choco outdated. No source files or tests are named, so trace the GUI's package-state refresh and version comparison behavior. Done means the GUI reflects the versions reported by the CLI after an upgrade.
