App installation failed with error message: Windows cannot install package MsixWin10BrokenUpdateInstall-ebd5-4308-95044568676_1.1.4.0_x64__jm9rw1e8bgdzg because a different package MsixWin10BrokenUpdateInstall-ebd5-4308-95044568676_1.1.2.0_x64__75cr2b68sm664 with the same name is already installed. Remove package MsixWin10BrokenUpdateInstall-ebd5-4308-95044568676_1.1.2.0_x64__75cr2b68sm664 before installing. (0x80073cf3)

Expected behavior
It should work at least as in win 11 where it lets you install it as a new application.
Ideally it should auto update since it's same PackageName.
Win 10 behavior is irrational it complains that it cannot install because "Same" package already exist but if that is the case why it does not allow to "update" ?
