Get-WinGetPackage has different results for package query elevated vs non-elevated #5635

Description

Brief description of your issue

Both instances of my terminal can find the package when directly querying by ID. However, when just running Get-WinGetPackage and using filters like Where-Object, the results are different

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

If a package can be found in a non-elevated session, it should be found in an elevated session. I understand that if a package is found in an elevated session it might not be found in a non-elevated session due to permissions. The behavior here just seems weird

Actual behavior

See screenshot
