Since Windows Package Manager relies purely on Control Panel & Registry - this is up to the application developer's hands and not something that can be easily handled by WinGet other than the solution below.There are various different ways to tackle issues like these and they are mentioned below: Solution 1: Reboot your Computer WinGet is still a bit far from the functionalities like Scoop or Chocolately, so there's no pre-install or post-install Batch or PowerShell scripts where DisplayVersion can be added automatically using scripts in case the application doesn't have a version in Control Panel. So setting the version temporarily to 1.33.7 fixes it to avoid wasting internet bandwidth (because 1.33.7 = 1.33.7 and 1.33.7 != Unknown)

#Gog galaxy issues upgrade

When you're running winget upgrade it compares the version you've installed (from Control Panel/Registry) to the repository, since Unknown is larger than say 1.33.7, it'll always upgrade it. There's a typo in my messages (this particular issue and previous issues), it's meant to match the version in the package from the repository rather than being set as Unknown. How is the key missing effectively any different than it being there with 'Unknown' in it? winget should be improved to react the same in both situations. With all due respect, the fact that adding 'Unknown' to a DisplayVersion key works with winget while the key missing completely does not points to at least a minor bug or improvement to winget itself. You may or will have to readd the DisplayVersion key every time the application automatically updates to prevent this behavior.

Alternatively, if you want to partially fix this, you can add a DisplayVersion key and make it 'Unknown', so that way the Windows Package Manager won't be able to upgrade the application when running the winget upgrade command.
