Upgrade doesn't work for several packages #752
Description
Edited:
The most common reasons upgrades don't work has to do with how we match an installed application against a manifest in a configured source. We are depending on data available in Windows Apps & Features to match a manifest based on the "displayName" and "version". In many cases there are multiple packages with data similar enough to make it unclear which manifest matches to an installed package.
We are working to improve the matching heuristic so we can distinguish between packages with a true update vs. packages that have a similar name and newer versions are installed "side by side".
Original issue:
Upgrade didn't work for PowerToys.
I have all of the experimental features enabled.
