Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
• Search the existing issues.
• Refer to the FAQ.
• Refer to Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell.

Steps to reproduce

• Download Powershell v7.2.1 x64 MSI installer
• Install Powershell into an internal secondary drive
• Make sure to enable MU features in the installer
• Run Windows Update
• Windows Update should start downloading and installing Powershell v7.2.2
• After Update notice how the Powershell install folder on the secondary drive is empty and Powershell is now installed on your main drive.

Expected behavior

Windows Update should update Powershell 7 to the original directory you installed it in.

Actual behavior

Windows Update has no regard for where you would like programs installed and instead chooses to install Powershell 7 updates on the main drive.
