Architecture	Scope	Type	Silent switches	Source
x64	user	EXE		Declared by publisher
x64	machine	EXE		Declared by publisher

Declared by publisher means the switches come straight from the winget manifest the publisher (or community maintainer) submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs.
Default for {type} means the manifest doesn't specify silent switches, so the framework's standard switches are shown (e.g. /S for NSIS, /quiet /norestart for MSI).
