Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
When looking through the logs of a pipeline run, there are times where it can be seen that the msstore source fails to open. Given that these pipelines are running in virtual environments, I believe it is expected that the msstore is unavailable. Additionally, items like --dependency-source are specified to be winget.
If the msstore was removed as part of the pipeline setup, it would clean up the logs, reduce potential failure modes, and remove the need to specify dependency source
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Add the command winget source remove msstore as part of the setup flow when installing winget onto the virtual environment used for manifest validation

Research direction
Locate the validation pipeline setup flow that installs winget in the virtual environment. Start by checking how dependency sources are configured and where setup commands run. Done means the msstore source is removed during setup and the resulting validation logs no longer show attempts to open it.
