Logs

WinGet-2024-10-28-22-20-41.233.zip

Expected behavior

as winget upgrade would indicate there's a package 7.4.6, I expect it should upgrade to this version.

Actual behavior

Error

No installed package found matching input criteria.

Possible workaround:
winget install microsoft.powershell
does fetch the package correctly.

--exact or --id does not need to be specified

Windows: Windows.Server v10.0.26304.5000

any other software: nothing special, very clean Windows Server Insider OS for testing purposes.
