`winget upgrade --all` gets cancelled if `winget` needs to be updated

[sba923]

Brief description of your issue

If winget upgrade --all is run and winget needs upgrading, the whole command is aborted.

Steps to reproduce

On a system where winget v1.22.10582.0 is install, run winget upgrade --all.

The upgrade process will start, then abort after reaching winget.

Expected behavior

winget should either update itself last, or defer the update after the whole command has been run. Or even better: update itself first, then proceed with the rest of the updates.

Actual behavior

PS> winget upgrade --all; Remove-UselessDesktopShortcuts.ps1

After running the command, what are the results of winget -v? This behavior appears to be working correctly. I routinely upgrade WinGet like this, and the rest of the upgrades that can succeed, will succeed.

I hate to say, but I can't repro right now since winget doesn't need to be updated anymore....

winget -v now returns v1.7.10861

@denelon is there anything you want me to check before running winget upgrade --all again, restarting the machine, ...?

here are today's logs up to the repro: wingetlogs20240330.zip

[dmitrybarabash]

I encountered the same problem today on my work laptop. winget -v returns v1.7.10861.

At the same time, on the other laptop, everything upgraded fine and winget -v returns v1.7.11132.
