Run winget upgrade to upgrade the software packages on the current device to the latest versions.
Execute winget upgrade again. The system will display the unreasonable prompt: (No installed package found matching input criteria.)

Start at the winget upgrade command path and reproduce the second-run behavior in Command Prompt, where all packages are already current. Trace the source of the "No installed package found matching input criteria" message and update the no-upgrades case to use an accurate prompt; verify the revised behavior by running winget upgrade twice.
