That's not supposed to happen - the package manager reads from the Registry to know what's on the PC. So even if it was uninstalled through another means it should still be off the list.
If the software files were removed, but the Registry entries not removed - maybe during a manual removal - then I'm not sure how the package manager would react. DefaultInstallLocation
is part of the Schema now, but outside of this field, I believe the package manager doesn't check the file system. And that field is only used to help with matching, possibly for packages that normally install side-by-side and don't leave many other details in the Registry.
So the package manager might match the Registry entries, not know to check files on disk to find them missing, then proceed to download the installer and perform an upgrade - which turns into the install you saw. Could this be what happened?
Feature request: Check if the application files have been removed, and prompt in terminal "This package has Registry entries, but its files are missing. Should the Registry entries be removed, should the package be reinstalled, or should this be skipped?"

@jan10000000001 could you get your device to the state where you believe the applications are removed and run winget list
to see what WinGet still reports as installed? The application(s) may not have been completely removed.

@stephengillie i uninstalled the software over control /programm and featueres
from winget-cli.
Can you share the WinGet logs for running WinGet list where the two applications are not present, and then logs showing a reproduction where the applications are getting "upgraded"?
