Unable to uninstall winget itself.
Brief description of your issue
I cannot uninstall winget because of this property: NonRemovable: True.
I think that in many people, including me, winget or Appinstaller is not a necessary program. We can use the more powerful PowerShell as an alternative, or simply not use Appx-based programs.
Steps to reproduce
Execute command in PowerShell: Remove-AppPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.18.2691.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Expected behavior
Successfully uninstalled the program.
Actual behavior
Throw an error: 0x80073CFA
