Describe the bug
A lack of the "DisplayVersion" REG_SZ, or "Version", "VersionMajor", and "VersionMinor" REG_DWORDs within Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Workrave_is1 means that Microsoft's Windows Package Manager (winget) registers the version of WorkRave as "Unknown" and will always attempt to upgrade it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install "App Installer" from the Microsoft Store
  2. Open a command prompt or PowerShell terminal
  3. "winget list workrave"

Expected behavior
Version column will show currently installed version of WorkRave

** Windows (please complete the following information in case you encountered the bug on Windows):

  • Windows Version: Windows 10 21H1
  • Workrave Version 1.10.48
