Description

Relevant area(s)

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.
