Installed packages not showing

[tardis4500]

No matter which "Show Installed Package" method I choose in settings, the installed packages are never checked.

you need a refresh after selecting methods

[tardis4500]

I did that. I installed putty, refreshed, and tried both methods but it never shows as installed.

I'm not sure, but i think putty probably won't create a registry key For this reason it is not identified in the list.

Even this HandyWinGet GUI doesn't show as installed.

[ghost1372]

The method we use to identify installed programs is to use registry keys Therefore, if an application does not have a registry key, it cannot be identified.
You can check the registry keys at this address LocalMachine and CurrentUser

"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall",
"SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"

Any chance on adding additional verification methods?

HW supports installing 7-Zip alpha 21.01-alpha, which I've already got installed directly from the 7-zip website, but it also doesn't show for the same reason.

I suspect that installing it through HW would still yield it showing as not installed....
