What is expected to happen is after successfully installing below package via:

uninstall-wingetpackage -name -id '9PLFNLNT3G5G' -matchoption Equals -verbose
get-appxpackage -allusers -name 'AppUp.IntelGraphicsExperience'
get-wingetpackage -name -id '9PLFNLNT3G5G' -matchoption Equals -verbose

Expected behavior

I have found that uninstalled items persist until a new terminal session is opened. @penalvch, is that the case for you too?

@jimmy-zhening-luo no. Most packages I've tested show their installation status properly without starting a new session. However, the installation status immediately after uninstallation appears package dependent.

OK, thank you @penalvch. Then, I am probably encountering a different issue, but if I repro your case I will add details here.
