Bug

What is the current behavior?
-----------------------------
I'm on Windows, and I use [WinGet](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli) to manage packages on my system. When I upgrade my packages with WinGet, I have to use the `--include-unknown` flag to upgrade this package because the `DisplayVersion` key hasn't been added to the registry per [this comment](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/1356#issuecomment-895409232). In addition, I have to upgrade this package every time instead of only when a new version's been published because the WinGet doesn't know the current version that's installed.

Without `--include-unknown`:

With `--include-unknown:

What is the expected behavior?
------------------------------
WinGet should only upgrade this package when the version's been bumped without using the `--include-unknown` option.
