Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
it would be pretty cool to have winget integrated with Windows notifcations / toasts
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
this script shows how easy it seems to create a notification with a customizable input
https://gist.github.com/dend/5ae8a70678e3a35d02ecd39c12f99110
notification for user when install / update was successful or failed
Note:
This might raise expectations that winget is able to execute install without local user admin rights because in terms of automation it would make no sense to have notifications for things running via scripts (startup / shutdown at system level)
