Brief description of your issue

Running a "Winget upgrade --all" will constantly update Nvidia.GeForceNow.

In short, it always thinks there is an update and reinstalls.

Steps to reproduce

Have Nvidia.GeForceNow installed and run "winget upgrade --all"

Actual behavior

Nvidia.GeForceNow gets reinstalled each time "winget upgrade --all" is run as it thinks that version: 2.0.38.105 is what is installed with version: 2.0.38.121 being available.

Expected behavior

Nvidia.GeForceNow to only be updated if there is actually an update.

Start by reproducing the issue with winget upgrade --all while Nvidia.GeForceNow is installed, then inspect the attached WinGet log for how versions 2.0.38.105 and 2.0.38.121 are detected. Done means the package is not reinstalled on repeated upgrades unless a real update is available.
