winget upgrade

Brief description of your issue

This might need to go to Romanthios Issues? But what I've discovered is when Romanthio winget upgrade trys to upgrade MSTeams to latest version it finds an older one no where to be found? Running cmd "Winget list --name teams brings up the correct up-to-date version of teams in CLI and yet you check, "C:\Program Files\Winget-AutoUpdate\logs\updates.log" or, "C:\ProgramData\Winget-AutoUpdate\logs\updates.log" and it says, Include app Microsoft.Teams as part of whitelisting policy and yet reports Available Update : MicrosoftTeams. Current Version : 25031.702.3408.1909. Available version : 26149.701.4759.8860. ?? where is it pulling this, the ID is "Microsoft.Teams"

Steps to reproduce

For Romanthio, as he uses Task Scheduler to run the winget-upgrade under Library -> WAU folder -> Run the 1st task which will gen the log either "C:\Program Files\Winget-AutoUpdate\logs\updates.log" or, "C:\ProgramData\Winget-AutoUpdate\logs\updates.log" then in the log you check for "Microsoft.Teams" and yet it brings up "MicrosoftTeams" missing the "."

Expected behavior

Winget to find "Microsoft.Teams" which it is as part of the whitelisting policy and keeps it up-to-date which it will hopefully moving fwd, I've applied MS teams cleanup script to remove all the old and classic teams and this one downloads the latest teams using the boostrapper.exe

Actual behavior

In either "C:\Program Files\Winget-AutoUpdate\logs\updates.log" or, "C:\ProgramData\Winget-AutoUpdate\logs\updates.log" says MicrosoftTeams : Skipped upgrade because it is not in the included app list? this ID doesn't exist when you type in Winget install Microsoftteams brings up no package found
