Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the reported installed Element packages using winget list --id Element.Element and winget uninstall --id Element.Element. Trace the list and uninstall handling for the --id option and add or update regression coverage for both commands. Done means both commands find the installed packages by their IDs.
