I had come to report this same issue. Winget works great to keep my pnpm exe updated since winget comes pre-installed on windows now (I keep the rest of the installation elsewhere and just delete the old exe from there so it doesn't take precedence in the PATH), except for this issue; I have to uninstall and reinstall to get the path for the exe added back.
