I ran a winget upgrade command for Microsoft.WindowsTerminal and it remains in winget results to upgrade. I know this occurs every so often, but causes this to install and remain available for upgrade in winget?

I ran a winget repair Microsoft.WindowsTerminal, but still shows in winget upgrade.

C:\>winget repair Microsoft.WindowsTerminal
Found Windows Terminal [Microsoft.WindowsTerminal]
Starting package repair...
Repair operation completed successfully.

I've seen winget get confused when have mulitple installs of some programs. For reference many Windows programs can be SYSTEM installed, meaning they are usually in Program Files or (x86) directories and are available to all users or they can be USER installed which means they are in your user profile and only accessible to you.

Is it SYSTEM installed? If it requires admin (UAC prompt) to installed it is SYSTEM
Is it USER installed? No admin (UAC prompt)

You may need to check if it's in both locations, if yes, then you are likely to encounter this issue.

Windows Terminal is part of Windows 11, so not sure if the System or user based.

Windows Terminal is found here (User path): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe
Windows Terminal package here: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft Store shows Windows Terminal version 1.24.10621.0 with no updates available.

At this time, Windows Terminal 1.24.10921.0 is currently on GitHub as a "Release Preview."

I think I found the answer. Winget repositories sees the latest updates available on GitHub and shows it is available in winget, but does not install form GitHub. I was curious why various updates shows a newer version available and does not install the update until later.

If I see that a program tries to install in my USER folder, I change the install directory to Program Files. Python tried to do that on me.

I have to wonder why programmers try to install programs in USER. What is the justification?

Windows has always been that way. This explains it too:
