Description
I've been able to get through some of the blockers that prevented me from using update mechanisms using the .appinstaller and for several UWP apps I have. One blocker I still have is sometimes this "App Installer Authentication Manager" window is left running/orphaned. I also would like to somehow suppress this window if possible. The .appinstaller and .msixbundle files are in a sharepoint site and I add msixauth=aad to the .appinstaller. I would like to be able to install updates silently, but this window shows up.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the update flow with the .appinstaller and .msixbundle files hosted on SharePoint and msixauth=aad enabled. Investigate the App Installer Authentication Manager behavior; done means updates install silently without leaving an orphaned or visible authentication window.
