Package ID Microsoft.Teams refers to two different packages including Microsoft Edge

[stuart-dbavic]

Brief description of your issue

Package ID Microsoft.Teams refers to package names Microsoft Teams (work or school) and Microsoft Edge.

Steps to reproduce

winget list --id Teams returns:

Name                             Id              Version              Available           Source
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Teams (work or school) Microsoft.Teams 24060.2610.2771.7995                     winget
Microsoft Edge                   Microsoft.Teams 122.0.2365.92        24033.811.2738.2546 winget

winget list --id Microsoft.Teams returns:

Name           Id              Version       Available           Source
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Edge Microsoft.Teams 122.0.2365.92 24033.811.2738.2546 winget

It is not possible to return Microsoft Teams (work or school) using ID Microsoft.Teams, even though they appear identical in the first command above.

Click Start > All Apps > Microsoft Edge to open, then click Overflow ... Menu > Help and Feedback > About Microsoft Edge and confirm the version is Version 122.0.2365.92 (Official build) (64-bit) (same as package name Microsoft Edge above).

Click Start > All Apps > Microsoft Teams (work or school) to open, then click Overflow ... Menu > Settings > About Teams and confirm the version is 24060.2610.2771.7995(preview) (same as package name Microsoft Teams (work or school) above.

Expected behavior

Each package ID should be unique. winget list --id Teams and winget list --id Microsoft.Teams should only return package name Microsoft Teams (work or school). Conversely, winget list --id Microsoft.Edge (or similar) should return package name Microsoft Edge.

Actual behavior

Microsoft Edge uses the wrong package ID, making it difficult to manage Microsoft Teams using winget. Package ID Microsoft.Teams is not unique when it should be.
