Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Add a setting to hide Microsoft Store Apps that cannot be updated via the Microsoft Store Updater.
This means that the Win32 apps from the Microsoft Store should not be displayed, as most of them can also be installed directly via winget and are thus displayed in double and UWP, WinUI3 should continue to be shown.

Research direction
The issue provides no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Microsoft Store Updater's app-enumeration and settings paths; done means a setting hides non-UWP Store Win32 apps while UWP and WinUI3 apps remain visible, with coverage for both setting states.
