Description
Brief description of your issue
I ran winget upgrade to update available packages. When it was done, i got the following text
86 package(s) have version numbers that cannot be determined. Use --include-unknown to see all results.
But when run winget upgrade --include-unknown, there was only one package whose version is unknown
Steps to reproduce
- Run
winget upgrade --all -h - Waiting for available packages to update
- After finishing the update, I get the message
86 package(s) have version numbers that cannot be determined. Use --include-unknown to see all results.
Expected behavior
I'm expecting for packages to successfully update.
Actual behavior
When winget finished updating packages, this message shows up 86 package(s) have version numbers that cannot be determined. Use --include-unknown to see all results.
Even tho i run winget upgrade --include-unknown, there's only one package (NirSoft.BlueScreenView) with unknown version.
Environment

Research direction
Start by reproducing winget upgrade --all -h and then winget upgrade --include-unknown in the reported Windows Package Manager environment. Compare the package counts and version-unknown results after the upgrade completes. Done means the discrepancy is explained and the upgrade output consistently reports the packages shown by --include-unknown.
