Microsoft Preparing Updated Windows Store Application

ThrashZone · Apr 25, 2021

Hi,
Since ms uses android they shot their selves in the foot store wise people can just use google's.. store and never have to look at ms store and the cheesy apps they have
Funny they think the interface is the issue though lol plus thinking win-10 on cell would be popular in the first place only real reason anyone still uses win-10 is because after all these years linux still sux

I have bought 2 games from the Windows Store because I couldn't get them anywhere else and I have had 2 bad experiences. First of all when downloading the games they just stopped before the download was complete and wouldn't start back up. Then when they finally did download they didn't place launch icons on my desktop. It would have been a simple matter to fix if I could have opened the game folders and moved the launch icons to my desktop. Nope, Microsoft doesn't allow you to open the game folders even with Administrative Rights. I managed to copy the launch icons from the startup menu to my desktop. Too much hassle to do business with them.

imo the Microsoft Store is the worst service out there.

Yeah, those apps annoy the hell out of me. I have a bunch of powershell scripts that uninstall those (because you can't uninstall them via GUI) for every time there's a biannual feature update that reinstalls all that bloatware. Most of it is failed software that has no purpose being part of an OS and is barely-used b-rate stuff that attempts to compete with established, free, commodity staples.

Weird, I haven't had my apps reinstalled every update? I just ran the magical Get-AppxPackage | where-object {$_.name –notlike “*store*”} | Remove-AppxPackage command the first time I installed Windows 10 to remove all UWP apps except the store and went on my way.

I use Windows 10 because it's perfect for my workflow, needs, and processor, not because Linux is bad. Linux to me will never be a daily driver.
