Updates broken when Brave installed using Winget

On any system we install Brave on using either Winget or Chocolatey, when we go to Help > About we see the following error:
An error occurred while checking for updates: Update check failed to start (error code 3: 0X80040154 – system level).

This is easily remedied by manually installing Brave but it doesn’t fix it when you’ve got hundreds of systems to deploy Brave to in a business setting. I’ve already tried a reboot and the same issue persists. This issue can be easily reproduced with a clean install of Windows with no other software. Just open a command prompt and type: winget install brave.brave
It’ll install and work but that install will not update automatically. What’s going on here?

You need to also install Brave.BraveUpdater as per Brave.Brave fails to update itself #179971
