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

Different install technology.

### Brief description of your issue

This game, Warframe, is installed via steam and up to date but always displays as an uknown package that cannot be determined and should be removed from powershell as it cannot seem to identify the current version.

### Steps to reproduce

install warframe on steam and verify it's up to date.
open powershell and type winget upgrade -u
or winget upgrade --include-unknown
or just winget upgrade will let you know it is there.

### Actual behavior

it shows up that it needs updated

### Expected behavior

I expect it to not display that it needs updated
