Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
The winget list command was designed to display all packages installed on a users Windows 10 machine in Add / Remove Programs (ARP). The command would also show which Apps with possible upgrades were available from sources configured in the Windows Package Manager. This specification proposes enhancements to the output provided by the list command.

- #4236
- #4237
- #4238
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Modify the output behavior for winget list to display available version from any source. When a package is available via more than once source, the first configured source should be displayed.
Affected by:
- #1488
Note: Users will be able to see if packages are available from individual sources by specifying the source as an argument to the list command.
Modify the output behavior for winget list -s <source> to display only packages available from the specified source.
Add a new argument -u, --unavailable to the list command to display Apps installed in Windows Apps & Features not matching any configured source.
