Add an option to exclude apps from major/minor updates

[FaserF]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

We have some applications where we cannot update the applications without validating them first. But we would like to get patch updates (1.0.2 : 1=Major, 0=Minor, 2=Patch) for security reasons f.e.

I would love to see an option for this, similar to winget pin add Tried implementing this in another way, but having it directly at winget would be great. https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate/pull/711

Proposed technical implementation details

Extend for example the current pin option with these parameters:

winget pin add Company.AppName --PatchOnly

for example

Have you tried setting a gating pin? For your use case, I believe the following command will do

winget pin add Company.AppName --version 1.0.*
