Can you share the exact error you're getting? When I try, it upgrades just fine

No applicable upgrade found. A newer package version is available in a configured source, but it does not apply to your system or requirements. Amebis/eduVPN#241

Do you have a setting for preferring certain installer types in WinGet? Any Group Policies that could be affecting it?

The easiest way to diagnose the issue is if you can share the log file from winget upgrade SURF.eduVPNClient --verbose --logs

my windows installation is a bit weird like i don't have 7-zip in the context menu and i had lots of problems with libreoffice templates (i solved it in the registry https://www.libreoffice-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=38690&p=107122#p107122 ). i also konw a laptop with windows 7, which can't get upgraded to windows 10 and it has a very strang GPO settings. i think i've also strange GPO (group policy objects)

i will wait for the next release and try cmd => winget upgrade SURF.eduVPNClient --verbose --logs

I am not an expert in winget, so I may be completely wrong...

The end of your log file says:

SURF.eduVPNClient is authored as en-US. Hopefully, you using de-DE locale is not preventing winget from installing this MSI.

It appears as if you have some specific version of the application pinned in winget. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/pinning)
