Research direction

Start by reproducing winget list --upgrade-available after installing Windows Desktop Runtime 10.x, using the reported WinGet CLI and Windows environment. Trace how the command associates installed package IDs with available updates; done means Windows Desktop Runtime 10.* is no longer matched to Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.5.
