[BUG] pinget.exe matching wrong packages on Windows Server 2019

[stevehoek]

Please confirm these before moving forward

• I have searched for my issue and have not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
• I have tested that this issue has not been fixed in the latest (beta or stable) release.
• I have checked the FAQ section for solutions.
• This issue is about a bug (if it is not, please use the correct template).

UniGetUI Version

2026.1.9

Windows version, edition, and architecture

Windows Server 2019 x64

Describe your issue

I have 3 systems running UniGetUI... two Win10 and one WinSvr2019

On the Windows Server, which does not have winget installed, it is matching the wrong packages (I have it set to use pinget.exe as that is the only option on Server 2019)

It is matching Chrome Remote Desktop to Windows Remote Desktop and SignalRGB to Signal Messenger

Both are installed on the Win10 PC's and don't show in the update list, but those systems have winget installed and I'm not forcing it to use pinget for the CLI

Steps to reproduce the issue

Install mentioned packages and see the mismatch when configured the way I mentioned and on Server 2019

Hi.
We’ve made a few improvements to pinget in 2026.1.10. Could you please update to that version and check whether your issue is fixed or not

[stevehoek]

Just installed the new version... I still have 2 mismatched items:

I have also noticed that pinget.exe updates packages almost unbelievably fast, like there is no download time anymore... but the package gets updated.

[mamoreau-devolutions]

I have also noticed that pinget.exe updates packages almost unbelievably fast, like there is no download time anymore... but the package gets updated.

winget turns out to be quite slow and unoptimized. Even though we've rewritten it with pinget, I did take the time to investigate massive performance issues I observed, and submitted two pull requests that got merged in winget-cli: microsoft/winget-cli#6172 and microsoft/winget-cli#6171

the first winget-cli preview build that includes my fixes is here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/tag/v1.29.170-preview

If you're curious, update winget to that preview build so you can compare
