Description

### Please confirm these before moving forward

- [x] I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
- [x] I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

### Category of the issue

No applicable update found.

### Brief description of your issue

I ran `winget upgrade` to check for out of date packages. It found `Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.8`, but `winget upgrade -i Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.8` fails to find updates for it.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run `winget upgrade`
2. Note `Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.8` is out of date
3. Run `winget upgrade Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.8`
4. Nothing updates

### Actual behavior

winget at first claims `Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.8` but won't install it.

### Expected behavior

winget should be able install anything it sees as out of date.
