Brief description of your issue

Sorry if this shouldn’t be reported this way, but I’m not yet up-to-speed on the Microsoft ways-of-work on Github. After installing winget-cli this morning, and running winget upgrade --all, I got the following feedback:

• Multiple non-silent fails
• One crash of winget
• Looping installation after fail
• Upgrades of up-to-date applications

Steps to reproduce

Have an old 32-bit version of Teamviewer installed on your 64 machine, together with any old version of the other apps listed below under Actual behaviour. Then run winget upgrade --all as administrator in a Windows Terminal session running Powershell as default.

Expected behavior

Winget to update these packages, and kill a running download when pressing CTRL+C.

Actual behavior

While downloading the Unity update of 2GB, I pressed CTRL+C because I needed my bandwidth for a Teams meeting, but it seems the download kept running even though I got my Powershell prompt back.

Multiple packages (also a number of packages not listed here) have visible installers. It wouldn’t be too much of an issue if these would be running in the background, but they are being pushed as top window, and get the focus of Windows, which makes it possible to accidentally cancel an installation, otherwise interrupt an installation, or close an error message.

• Battle.Net: Keeps re-installing the update (and launching after installation).
• Discord: Installer fails to install, because Discord.exe was still running. 2nd attempts installs a version that still needs to update when running for the first time.
• LockHunter: Keeps re-installing the update (and popping up their website after installation).
• Parsec: Installer hash does not match; this cannot be overridden when running as admin.
• PyCharm Community Edition: Installation fails, because it attempts to install into a non-empty directory. Then it re-tries, gives the same error, and continues to the next package. As long as the error is open, winget does not continue.
• Speccy: Keeps re-installing the update.
• Spotify: Fails because it can only be installed under user level, and not as administrator.
• TrackMania Nations Forever: Keeps re-installing the update (500MB slow download with visible installer).
• TeamViewer: Returns error 0x80072f7c and exits winget. After manually updating, it successfully skips this package.
• CORSAIR iCUE 4 Software: Installer freezes after spawning multiple C++ Application Development Frameworks (QtWebEngineProcess.exe). winget reported error 1603 and continued after I killed the installer.
• euroscope: Installer failed with exit code: 1603 (no user-interaction happened)
• PowerShell: Installation killed my PowerShell session, and with that it killed winget
• Unity: Keeps re-installing the update (2GB download!)
• Unity Hub: Keeps re-installing the update
• Ubisoft Connect: Keeps re-installing the update
• Visual Studio Community 2019: Keeps re-installing the update
• Barrier: Installer fails because the process takes too long to be killed
• Epic Games Launcher: Installer failed with exit code: 1603 (no user-interaction happened)
• Visual Studio Code: Keeps re-installing the update, application launches after installation

Mozilla Firefox, VLC media player, Zoom and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC aren’t automatically updating at all with winget upgrade --all and return No applicable update found. when trying to upgrade them one-by-one.
