In several places, the schema docs currently reference the "Add / Remove Programs" control panel.
However, as of Windows 10 (which is the minimum version required by winget FWICT), that control panel was renamed to "Programs and Features", and that screen specifically is now "Uninstall or change a program".
Moreover, that control panel has been generally superseded by the "Apps > Installed apps" (W11) / "Apps > Apps & features" (W10) screen within the modern Settings app of Windows.

Therefore, I suggest updating such mentions in the docs.

Note

Common abbreviations in this repo:

ARP - historically the Add and Remove Programs Control Panel page, but now is Uninstall or change a program (UCP?)
ANF - Apps and features Settings page.

Even in Windows 11, it's still called Add or Remove Programs even though it takes you to Apps > Installed Apps in settings
