Research direction

Start by reproducing `winget upgrade` and `winget upgrade WinDirStat.WinDirStat` in the reported Windows environment, then inspect the WinDirStat.WinDirStat package entry in this repository. Compare the installed 2.7.0 package details with the available 2.8.0 entry and determine what prevents the upgrade; done means the command installs 2.8.0 as expected.
