Category of the issue

No applicable update found.

Brief description of your issue

The manifest lacks scope: machine, so this package can not be updated, when using the scope parameter.

Steps to reproduce

1. winget remove Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.10
2. winget install Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.10 --version 10.0.8 -> installs whether admin or user (note: as user with UAC prompt for elevation)
3. winget upgrade --scope=machine -> shows Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.10 (10.0.8 -> 10.0.9)
4. winget upgrade --scope=user -> nothing
5. winget install Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.10 --scope=machine -> quits with -1978335189 ("No Applicable Upgrade Found")

Actual behavior

Since the scope is missing from the manifest, environments/tools that rely on programmatically running through user/machine updates, can not upgrade this package anymore. The upgrade is only applied when omitting the scope parameter completely, which fundamentally breaks such workflows.

Expected behavior

scope: machine should be included in the manifest, since the package installs machine-wide stuff and asks for elevation.
