Uninstalling the following packages:

Chocolatey uninstalled 1/1 packages. See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).

For me the package was broken, an error when running choco uninstall --force so I uninstalled the old fashioned way and then ran choco uninstall so it removes the reference and doesn't try to upgrade it on the next run
