Brief description of your issue

Kinda related to https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/118528? The user-scope installer works fine, but when trying to upgrade the package, the upgrade only shows as available for the system scope, not the user scope.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Install an older version of pandoc
  2. winget source update
  3. winget list --scope user --upgrade-available
  4. winget upgrade --scope user JohnMacFarlane.pandoc
Actual behavior

The application doesnt show up as upgradable in the user-scope upgradable list, and can't be upgraded as a user.

winget.exe upgrade --scope user JohnMacFarlane.pandoc

<#
No installed package found matching input criteria.

Expected behavior

The package should have the update installed
