winget list does not show column with available update any more

Brief description of your issue

When running winget list before, I got a column with available updated version number. Now (v1.3.431-preview) it does not show that column any more.

Steps to reproduce

run winget list (v1.3.431-preview)

Expected behavior

Show column with available update.

Actual behavior

Column is not shown.

Environment

v1.3.431-preview

Can confirm this is happening, also with the shipped version, not just the preview.

winget -v: v1.3.2091

Take for example:

winget list: filtered manually only one package that has an update

Name                                          Id                                             Version            Source
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Software Development Kit - Windows 1… Microsoft.WindowsSDK                           < 10.0.22000.832   winget

winget list "software" filtered manually only the same package package that has an update

Name                                                      Id                                       Version          Available    Source
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Software Development Kit - Windows 10.0.19041.685 Microsoft.WindowsSDK                     < 10.0.22000.832 10.0.22621.1 winget

Notice that on the second invocation with a search query, it show the available column as well.

I was trying to build a list of packages with available updated. Now that I have seen this bug I can stop doing so.... 🤔😉 (because of mis-behaving winget... )

If you are just looking for a way to see all the programs that are installed and needing a update, you can just do "winget upgrade" and it will spit out a list of all the programs with pending updates minus any program that is missing or has a malformed version number in its registry entry

[Luuk34]

Because getting a list of packages with available updates should be in a format that has complete information, and the current output contains characters like … :

Windows 10 Update Assistant                                        Microsoft.UpdateAssistant               1.4.9200.22749   1.4.19041.15… winget

P.S. It's weird that a PC running Windows 11 shows an update for "Windows 10 Update Assistant", but that's another discussion.

[Masamune3210]

It shows a update for the program because the program is completely separate from the OS, if you are already on 11, you can uninstall it since it serves no purpose anymore
