What happened?
I am currently running the latest stable release of UCheck v5.4.0.0 (rel. 07-May-2024) on my Win 10 machine from a removable USB stick.
When Winget is turned OFF at History & Settings | Scan Settings | Winget multiple Microsoft applications previously classified as "Winget" apps are incorrectly re-classified as "Unsupported" instead of "Community".
ucheck-report
If Winget is ON at History & Settings | Scan Settings | Winget the Installed tab lists 33 supported applications and UCheck finds 5 available updates ...

... but if I Winget is OFF at History & Settings | Scan Settings | Winget the Installed tab only lists 25 supported applications and UCheck only finds 2 available updates.
It appears that I have 8 applications (Microsoft Edge Update, all Microsoft .NET Runtimes and all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables) that now disappear when Winget is turned OFF because they are incorrectly (???) re-classified as "Unsupported" when they should be re-classified as "Community".
IMPORTANT NOTE: My outdated Windows PC Health Check app changes from a "Winget" app to a "Community" app as expected when Winget is turned OFF.

I'm not certain, however, that Adlice would consider this Winget behaviour to be an actual bug for all 8 applications since I can't find an old screenshot from a previous version of UCheck that proves that my Microsoft .NET Core Runtime v3.x and Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime v8.x used to be classified as "Community" apps before Winget support was added to UCheck v5.4.0.0.
FYI, I don't really care if UCheck supports Microsoft Edge Update or the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables - I'll likely create exclusions for the Visual C++ Redistributables apps because I don't want these apps updated to the latest available versions in case this breaks some of my older, unsupported software like Microsoft Money Plus.
