Same thing happened to me today with notepad4:
WinGet-2025-06-05-10-49-24.649.log
And same is happening to me with fmpeg as also mentioned in https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/5401 and it plagues other packages I don't remember.
It seems there are other open issues describing same problem I guess: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/4632 https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/4761 https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/4751 but it seems it always goes nowhere
This looks like a case where more than one package appears to be correlated.
You may want to add "--id" and "--exact" and possibily "--force" WinGet to update the package with the ID.
We still have challenges around "channels" where there is a stable version and a preview version for a package, so WinGet can't disambiguate based on the metadata in the registry and the manifest.

As mentioned in other issues, it looks like if affects package that have a shared prefix with other packages. None of the provided command-line switches help.
