This feature provides experimental support for Microsoft Desired State Configuration, configuration export, and font management through winget settings.

Changes include fixing source errors, improving pipeline stability, handling metadata problems, supporting the DSC v3 adapter, simplifying schema header checks, and updates to OneFuzzConfig.json, like Better DefaultInstallVersion, along with other updates. The full list of changes covers versions v1.11.230-preview and v1.11.320-preview. The complete changelog encompasses versions v1.11.230-preview and v1.11.320-preview.
