Description
Brief description of your feature request
If you install AnyDesk.AnyDesk 9.0.4 with winget (version 1.10.340) and then want to check if it's installed, it reports ad 9.0.4 in the version column instead of just 9.0.4. In my opinion winget should do it's best to parse the registry value (that AnyDesk apparently is setting to ad 9.0.4) to the version that matches the version number in winget.
If you install version 9.0.4 but the vendor is putting xyz 9.0.4 what ever else in the registry, the winget list command should just report 9.0.4, maybe with an extra --show-raw parameter to give the user extra columns with the raw value.
Steps to reproduce
winget install AnyDesk.AnyDesk --source wingetwinget list --id AnyDesk.AnyDesk --exact --source winget
Expected behavior
I would expect the output to be:
Name Id Version Source
----------------------------------------
AnyDesk AnyDesk.AnyDesk 9.0.4 winget
Actual behavior
The output is (with the ad in the version column):
Name Id Version Source
----------------------------------------
AnyDesk AnyDesk.AnyDesk ad 9.0.4 winget
Environment
Windows Package Manager v1.10.34
Windows.Desktop v10.0.26100.3194

Research direction
Start with the winget list command and the registry value used for AnyDesk's installed version. Determine how the reported version is selected and how the proposed raw-value option would fit the existing output. Done means winget list reports 9.0.4 for this case while preserving a way to view the raw value.
