- We all know that Microsoft is making some major changes when it involves Windows 11.
- The Store has also been submitted to vary , as have the apps which will be present on the roster.
- Win32 apps will not be updated through the shop itself, but directly from developers.
- When selecting software within the Store, additional information are going to be displayed, regarding the update method.
We’ve already seen that, with Windows 11, Microsoft has decided to vary tons of things that we’ve grown familiar with in Windows 10.
There’s no surprise that the tech giant has also opted for a special approach for the Microsoft Store.
Apparently, Microsoft is not any longer trying to show it into a profit-generating center and has cut its fees deeply, while opening the door for apps from all types of sources, including traditional and legacy Win32 apps.
Microsoft came up with a special thanks to update Store apps
There has been tons of chatter, lately, on the Microsoft Store topic, especially the one within the new OS , and we’ve learned that the developers decided to drop the HTML format, in favor of XAML.
New information of the Store’s inner workings has surfaced, and it seems that the Redmond-based tech company is adding even more changes than initially thought.
It seems that with Win32 apps Microsoft is not any longer taking any responsibility for updating them, counting on the developers to constantly provide updates for his or her software.
Updates to Apps aren’t required to be submitted through the shop . End users won’t be ready to receive updates from the shop . Apps are often updated directly by You via your App that’s installed on a Windows Device after download from the shop .
This means that Developers also will be ready to deliver an Installer via the shop and also provide download for the app from their own CDN.
To make things easier and more understandable, Microsoft are going to be adding a label to assist consumers know of this different experience:
Furthermore, this suggests is that getting an app from the shop implies that we’ll still need to put up with multiple installers in your taskbar.
However, this also implies that developers have little reason to not add their apps to what’s essentially Microsoft’s directory service.
