WinGet CLI, COM API
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I want to be able to switch between explicit and nonexplicit for configured WinGet sources.
This would allow me to always have access to the winget-font source for managing fonts.
It would also allow me to disable the msstore source from search behavior without having to remove the source entierely.
