Brief description of your issue

After running winget dsc export --all I opened the resulting configuration file. I observed Microsoft.WinGet/UserSettingsFile had it's properties set to settings: {} even though I have several user settings configured

Steps to reproduce

1. Use winget settings to open your settings file
2. Add content to your settings file

My Settings File

{
  "$schema": "https://aka.ms/winget-settings.schema.json",

  // For documentation on these settings, see: https://aka.ms/winget-settings
  // "source": {
  //    "autoUpdateIntervalInMinutes": 5
  // },
  "experimentalFeatures": {
    "configureSelfElevate": true
  },
  "installBehavior": {
    "portablePackageUserRoot": "D:\\Trenly\\WinGet\\Packages\\",
    "preferences": {
      "architectures": ["x64"],
      "installerTypes": ["wix", "msi", "nullsoft"]
    }
  },
  "visual": {
    "enableSixels": false,
    "anonymizeDisplayedPaths": true,
    "progressBar": "retro"
  },
  "logging": {
    "level": "verbose",
    "channels": ["all"]
  },
  "source": {

  },

  },
  "network": {
    "downloader": "default",
    "doProgressTimeoutInSeconds": 60
  },
  "interactivity": {
    "disable": false
  }
}
