Just steam

Sounds like Winget needs to ignore Steam-installed files. Likely run into the same problem with other Steam applications like Blender and Aseprite.

That's prob the best answer to this. However, it could be my fault. I can't remember if it was on my current computer or my older one but I did have RetroArch installed standalone and through Steam to compare them. Winget picked up on the standalone but when I uninstalled the standalone version it could still find the Steam install and assumed it was a broken install of the standalone.

Never mind this I just had a friend of mine who owns aseprite on Steam test it and it doesn't do it with aseprite. He also has Retroarch installed through Steam and it detects as unknown as well he's never used the standalone version so it's not some weird leftover files from an old install.
