Winget sees a package to update even the new version is installed side-by-ide

[msgdelm]

Brief description of your issue

Running 'winget upgrade', shows me 'Microsoft .NET SDK' and 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64)' to be upgraded.
Looking at versions already installed, the available version is already installed.

Steps to reproduce

Install several versions of the .NET SDK.

Expected behavior

The new version being already installed side-by-side, it should'nt be showned as to be upgrade.

Actual behavior

The package is always seen as to be upgraded.

This is still an issue. I dont think it ever got fixed. Currently showing version 14.30.30704.0 is installed but always showing 14.32.31326.0

No matter how many times I update it always shows which makes doing a full winget upgrade -h --all annoying as it always downloads and upgrades even though it isnt needed.

Maybe something new has been added to stop this or some bypass?

That issue hasn't been closed yet. For "side-by-side" packages, we need to check if the latest is installed, and not show it as a potential upgrade for an older version currently installed on the system.
