Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I'd like to have WinGet be resilient to reboots.
Some packages require a reboot when they are updated. If I was in the middle of a winget import packages.json or winget install <package 1> <package 2> <package 3> or installing a package with a dependency that triggered a reboot, I'd like WinGet to be able to pick up where it left off.
