Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with winget install Neovim.Neovim, then cancel the installation with Ctrl+C while it is in progress. Inspect the CLI's cancellation and progress-reporting paths; done means the Windows Terminal and taskbar progress indicators return to their pre-installation state after cancellation.
