Brief description of your issue
Small nit-pick, but whenever WinGet updates I always get jumpscared by "download.exe wants to run as administrator", which looks very ominous and provides very little feedback to what needs administrator perms.
I'd like it changed to the actual filename of the download (qbittorrent_4.6.0_lt20_qt6_x64_setup.exe in my case), or alternatively something the likes of "winget-install" or "qBitTorrent.qBitTorrent" (package ID).
It does not appear to be something related to the metadata of the package, so I'm guessing the client will need to be modified.
Steps to reproduce
Run winget install qBittorrent.qBittorrent
Actual behavior
An administrator prompt pops up asking you to permit download.exe
Expected behavior
An administrator prompt popping up asking you to permit an executable the likes of qbittorrent_4.6.0_lt20_qt6_x64_setup.exe
