Nice work! There's some minor issue with a package though. This is the winget update output:

And for some reason the Microsoft Visual C++ package info is not being formatted properly.

i am using this
Start-Process powershell -ArgumentList "winget upgrade -u $($_.Id); Read-Host"
instead of
winget upgrade -u $_.Id
is there a problem with this aproach?

The problem is, the text for VisualC++ Name is too long for the column and in my Powershell window it shows me 3 dots (...) at the end, but that's not three dots, it's a special character that looks like 3 dots and that messes up the script.
I assume you are using Visual Studio Code, which also shows me .
Insert after line 17:
# Remove ellipsis character (Unicode 2026) and other potential problematic encodings
$upgradeResult = $upgradeResult -replace [char]0x2026, ' ' # Replace Unicode ellipsis with a space
$upgradeResult = $upgradeResult -replace '', ' ' # Replace other potential ellipsis encodings with a space
Much Obliged.
