[Hot Fix] Fix Image Resizer not working on Win10 (#43763)

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
Windows 10 can’t launch the app using the Sparse Package. Remove the app
manifest so that Image Resizer can start properly on Windows 10.

We will figure out how to support Sparse Packages on Windows 10 in the
next release.
