Description of the new feature / enhancement
So, I learned recently that Winget is able to uninstall Microsoft Store apps even if they were not installed through winget install; i.e. they were shown as MSIX\(...) when running winget list.
winget rm 9nzbf4gt040c successfully uninstall the Bing app.winget rm xp8bt8dw290mpq successfully uninstalls Start Experiences App.winget rm 9wzdncrfhwd2 fails at uninstalling the Solitaire & Casual Games app, since the ID 9wzdncrfhwd2 is not in the msstore repo's data. This is the part that could need improvement.
Proposed technical implementation details
Make winget rm able to detect the IDs of any Microsoft Store apps, for the specific purpose of finding ID-to-app matches for uninstallations.
