Can you run winget list neovim. I'd like to see if more than one version is installed.

No.

If I try to upgrade it directly, I am given an actual reason:

Ah, yes. This was a package issue, so I'll close this.

I do think winget needs to be more clear about why packages are skipped. Blindly skipping them on --all with no feedback to the user is very counterintuitive. I'd perfer something like:

(1/2) Found Neovim [Neovim.Neovim] Version 0.10.1
Skipping package as it does not apply to your system or requirements.
For more information, retry with --verbose

(2/2) Found Oh My Posh ...
