with the WinGet REST source API

Doesn't this also support the preindexed sources?

Updated the description to include preindexed sources

+- InstallerHashOverride
+- LocalArchiveMalwareScanOverride
+- ProxyCommandLineOptions
+- DefaultProxy


I thought I had seen a previous comment about this, but DefaultProxy is not a flag that is enabled/disabled, so I don't think it works with this cmdlet

Removed DefaultProxy from this list.

+
+This command lists all of the packages installed on your system. The output includes packages
+installed from WinGet sources and packages installed by other methods. Packages that have package
+identifiers starting with `MSIX` or `ARP` were not installed from a WinGet source.


Nit: I think there are cases where a package installed from a WinGet source may not be correlated back to it

I didn't address this as I'm not quite sure how to best explain this.. 😓

src/PowerShell/Help/Microsoft.WinGet.Client/Get-WinGetUserSettings.md

+
+This command displays the WinGet settings for the current user. The settings are stored in
+`$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Packages\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json`.
+This file only exists if you have change a user setting using the `Set-WinGetUserSettings` command.


That's not the only way settings can be changed. Maybe "...if you have changed a user setting, for example, using..."?

+### -Override
+
+Specify arguments to pass to the installer as a single string. To pass multiple arguments, include
+the arguments in the string. The arguments must be provided in the format expected by the installer.
+If the string contains spaces, it must be enclosed in quotes. This string overrides the arguments in
+the package manifest.
+


Should we clarify the difference with -Custom?

Updated description for both -Custom and -Override to clarify the difference

+This command removes a configured WinGet source. By default, there are two sources registered:
+`msstore` and `winget`. You can add more sources using `Add-WinGetSource`.


This has to be run as admin, right? Maybe we should clarify it like for other commands.

Added description that add/remove source commands must be run as admin.

This makes me think it only works if it is already installed, but it can also be used to install if it is missing, right? Should we clarify?
