Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by identifying how WinGet performs upgrade discovery, how the CLI handles elevation, and where user-logon behavior could be integrated. Done means checking for available upgrades at logon, showing only when packages are found, and conditionally running the requested all-package upgrade.
