Start by reproducing the pin attempt with the affected packages and inspect the diagnostic logs under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\DiagOutputDir. Compare packages that pin successfully with those reported as not found. Done means the affected packages can be pinned without the no-package-found result.
