Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.X

[ppvnf]

Packages:

Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6
Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.5
Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.3_1

Both fail to update. I had to blacklist them to make WAU stop trying to update them. Who is at fault here: Microsoft, Winget-AutoUpdate or myself?

updates.log

For some crazy reason I have the latest version of all x86 and x64 DesktopRuntimes. Winget doesn't detect any update (correctly), but WAU does (incorrectly). I also know that Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime is a problematic package for Winget, so I don't know who to blame...

I have the same problem and I had to blacklist that package. In fact, if you look at your installed apps, you might have different version for the same package. Winget running under system gets confused.

I have the exactly same versions for x86 and x64. I know that if they are outdated Winget is only able to update the x64 version for some weird reason but when they are updated winget upgrade correctly doesn't detect any update for it and even so WAU tries to update

WAU using this command to get outdated apps:
Winget upgrade --source winget
The only thing is, it is run under system context.

What you can try to do is to run the "C:\ProgramData\Winget-AutoUpdate\winget-upgrade.ps1" script from an admin user account and compare with system output.

I guess it is simply not possible, then
