Description of the Issue
I want to use winget to upgrade notepad++. There is a problem, if notepad++ is open when the winget command is run, it doesn't upgrade, but winget reports that it has upgraded successfully.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- open notepad++
- run "winget upgrade notepad++" from windows terminal
Output
Found Notepad++ [Notepad++.Notepad++]
This application is licensed to you by its owner.

Downloading https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/download/v8.1.2/npp.8.1.2.Installer.x64.exe
Successfully verified installer hash
Starting package install...
Successfully installed
Expected Behavior
For notepad++ installer to have alerted that the application was open, and to ask to close it before the installation continues.
This is the functionality with WinSCP
Actual Behavior
It appears to be installed, and running : "winget list notepad++"
Name Id Version
Notepad++ Notepad++.Notepad++ 8.1.2
Winget thinks the latest version is installed.
But when you check "?" "About Notepad++" , it still shows the old version v8.1.1
