Can you make the error messages better?

Description of the new feature / enhancement

"Failed in attempting to update the source: winget" This error message is bad. It should say something like there was a dns error, read timeout, connect timeout, ssl cert chain issue, expired cert, io error.. It should say something about why it failed.

Proposed technical implementation details

You can usually find those details in the log file. You can find the log folder if you do winget --info, and you can have the folder open automatically at the end if you add --logs to any command.

It may still be worth it adding to the CLI output, but this is how you can get that info right now.
