1.20.0
What version of Windows are you using (ex. Windows 11 22H2)?
10.0.26120

And here is my pin list:

WAU doesn't use the pin feature of Winget. You must use White or Blacklist.
I assume this could be added by changing this line, correct?
https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate/blob/b247463a98ca3689a60e3193a09f03210a42309d/Sources/Winget-AutoUpdate/functions/Get-WingetOutdatedApps.ps1#L12
We primarily focused our efforts on implementing an MSI version of WAU. We simply want to ensure it is stable enough to release this v2. Then, naturally, we can add an option (or consider it) for pinned apps. I would suggest handling pinned apps in blacklist mode and bypassing pinned apps in whitelist mode.
I would highly appreciate such a behavior. My current problem is that someone in the IT department centrally rolled the AutoUpdate out accompanied with a limited blacklist. Now I'm constantly getting notifications telling me that AutoUpdate failed for certain packages which I have pinned in my personal account because I already know that they can't be updated with winget upgrade.
Anyway, in an enterprise environment, it is highly recommended to use wishlist configuration...
Anyway, in an enterprise environment, it is highly recommended to use wishlist configuration...
This is not feasible in a corporate environment, as we have centrally managed applications (e.g. Office, SAP clients, printer tooling ...) and de-centrally managed applications (e.g. Development environments, business specific tools, ...). Central IT isn't truly aware of the de-central applications and can't add them to the whitelist / blacklist. Therefore, it is important that user specific pins are respected.
Leaving the user to choose is not always a good idea 😅 The thing is, I haven't checked yet how the pin feature works. So if a user pins an app, I don't know how WAU will behave in the system context 😑
13:00:05 - WAU uses External Lists from: C:\ProgramData\Winget-AutoUpdate-Configurator
That isn't a part of WAU, could it be you're running the fork (with an always older WAU): https://github.com/Weatherlights/Winget-AutoUpdate-Intune installed from Microsoft Store?
If so an implemented function like this would probably take a while before it reaches your machines (depending on that fork).
The function itself could be a nice addition to the functionality of WAU!
EDIT: But it must be dependent of an allowance to pin apps (PinList=Allowed) otherwise users can disrupt everything
