What happened?

If I install Ventoy using UnigetUI specifying to use the Vento.Ventoy Package ID with Source Winget:winget the folder is extracted in the %localappdata%\Microsoft subfolder and the files are not visible in the Search bar. So the application is installed but unusable because is "invisible" in the system. If I set a folder like Documents as the destination folder in UnigetUI, everything works perfectly, and I can use the software.

I've done similar install on an older system(win10 on top of BIOS-only days hardware) and can add that in powershell there's a new executable exposed called Ventoy2Disk_ARM.exe. That should mean that the installation is detecting the OS type wrong.
