[Bug]: win_wua.install does not install patch when the patch was previously uninstalled

What happened?

I installed an update (KB5120233) manually on windows (logged in and hit install). I then uninstalled the update manually by logging in.

I run salt '*' win_wua.available and it lists KB5120233 as available

I run salt '*' win_wua.install KB5120233 and it lists success:

    ----------
    Message:

Rebooting and running salt '*' win_wua.available again lists KB5120233 as available.
