Logs aren't relevant to this issue. I can attach them to this issue if developers think it would be beneficial.

Describe the bug Kite (the installed kite application) version is reporting as "unknown". You can verify this by running winget upgrade and seeing that it shows Kite as ready to upgrade (because it can't see its current version). If you don't have winget installed, you can verify this additionally by going to the windows settings application and opening the "Add or Remove Programs" component and clicking on the kite application. You can see here that no version information is visible (compare to another application like google chrome or firefox).

This functionality is a bug because an unknown version number forces winget upgrade --all to automatically upgrade Kite because it doesn't know that I have already upgraded to the latest version. There isn't a workaround for this, Kite needs to supply version information in its installer.
