When getting WinGet packages with "Get-ADTWinGetPackage", any longer name is truncated after a certain amount characters. Here are some examples that are returned:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Red…
Microsoft .Net Native Framework Pa…

I'm not sure if this a bug, by design, a limitation, user error, or something else, but is it possible to see the whole name? I've tried expanding the property (Get-ADTWinGetPackage | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name) and that still returns the shortened name? For certain applications it would be nice to see the whole name. It looks like the Id property may be truncated as well.

When using Microsoft's WinGet Module it is able to return the whole name.

It can't be helped sorry. The issue is complex but basically winget.exe limits the console output to 120 characters and makes it impossible to read the date right. See microsoft/winget-cli#1653 for more info.
