The hash mismatch is due to the "Vanity URL" for the installer.
WinGet is behaving as expected in this case.

If you run winget show Microsoft.Sysinternals.Suite you will see the URL.

There is a daily job that will find these mismatches and attempt to generate a PR for the updated SHA256, and assuming it passes, the error will get resolved. Otherwise, someone would need to submit a PR with the updated hash.
