winget upgrade

Brief description of your issue

I have package with id Logitech.GHUB installed.

winget list --id Logitech.GHUB says:

Name           Id            Version       Available     Source
---------------------------------------------------------------
Logitech G HUB Logitech.GHUB 2025.9.807502 2026.1.828335 winget

Yet I cannot ugrade it to the latest version. winget upgrade --all seemingly performs the upgrade, but outdated version is still in use.

Steps to reproduce

Execute winget upgrade --all twice:

$  winget upgrade --all
Name           Id            Version       Available     Source

Expected behavior

First upgrade should have upgraded, second upgrade should have been a noop. The latest version should actually be installed.

Actual behavior

Outdated versions persists even though upgrade says Successfully installed

Research direction

Start by reproducing the two winget upgrade --all runs and checking the WinGet logs under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\DiagOutputDir. Trace how the Logitech.GHUB installer result is recorded and how winget list determines its installed version. Done means the first upgrade updates the recorded version and the second upgrade is a no-op.
