Microsoft has released the pre-release version of Windows Package Manager 1.28, which introduces new features such as the ability to toggle a source between explicit and implicit states using the 'winget source edit' command and the 'list --details' switch for enhanced package reports. The 'source edit' command helps manage custom feeds by allowing users to avoid errors when a source is unavailable, particularly after driver updates that affect the Microsoft Store's certificate. The 'list --details' flag provides a more comprehensive view of installed packages, displaying essential metadata that aids in troubleshooting issues like unexpected app rollbacks. While these features improve usability for certain users, they may feel excessive for others, especially those who don't frequently manage custom feeds or prefer simpler methods for viewing app information

Microsoft’s Windows Package Manager 1.28 release candidate finally lets you flip a source between explicit and implicit with winget source edit, and the new --details switch turns the cramped table view of winget list into a full‑blown package report. The “source edit” subcommand rewrites the local settings file so winget can ignore an unavailable custom feed, which is handy after driver updates that break custom sources.
