--include-unknown does not work

[colejohnson66]

Brief description of your issue

As shown in the screenshot, the --include-unknown flag does not work. I ran a normal upgrade with winget upgrade --all, and, at the end was informed that "32 package(s) have version numbers that cannot be determined." As instructed, I used --include-unknown to list them, but I got an empty result.

Steps to reproduce

Run winget upgrade --include-unknown (and optionally with --all) and observe an error message.

Expected behavior

A list of packages (probably mostly Steam apps/games) that have unknown versions.

Actual behavior

A message informing me that "[n]o installed package found matching [the] input criteria."

If you run winget list, do any of the packages with version unknown have ID's have any information in the Source column?

I think this is a duplicate of #2458

• --include-unknown shows a lower number of packages after running "winget upgrade --all" #2458

We're getting a count before removing the ones that don't have a configured source.
