Command line tools disappear from PATH after upgrading them

[equeim]

Brief description of your issue

After upgrading sharkdp.fd and BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC using winget upgrade they disappeared from PATH. I managed to fix it by manually uninstalling and reinstalling them (using winget uninstall and winget install.

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade

Expected behavior

Executables remain in PATH

Actual behavior

Executables disappear from PATH

System Architecture: X64
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.23.1911.0

Bumping up, I have same issue with other packages:

• Helm. Helm
• Kubernetes.kubectl

Reproducing:

1. Install Helm. Helm
2. See PATH variable definition - all OK C:\Users\****\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\Helm.Helm_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe\windows-amd64 found
3. winget upgrade --all (when update is available)
4. PATH no longer contains requried entry

@equeim , I would like to suggest better wording:

"Executables disappear from PATH" --> "PATH for packaged executable is removed from PATH list definition"
