Microsoft is working on a major redesign for the Windows Store

Microsoft is working on a major redesign for the Windows Store

Microsoft is working on a major revision of its store for Windows 10. According to reports published by Windows Central, the change would not only be visual but also in terms of the policies of what types of software can be presented to integrate the space.

The change would also focus on offering a faster and more attractive user experience. The website mentions that the new version of the store should follow the same visual language as the Sun Valley update, which will revamp the Windows 10 interface in its entirety in future updates. The new Microsoft Store will remain a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) based application but will receive frequent updates on a monthly basis. Microsoft's intention is to facilitate aspects such as downloading large files, in addition to speeding up the application installation process. 

According to the report, the revamped version of the store should be a more open space for developers, including accepting applications in Win32 format that are not "repackaged" in MSXI format. In addition, a proprietary update distribution network (TLD) should be offered as a way to allow developers to bring in new versions of their products more quickly. However, the most substantial change should be to free the use of sales platforms unrelated to your system in available applications and games. With that, developers will be able to completely avoid the possibility of giving a part of their profits to Microsoft, which would be an unprecedented move in the industry.

The central idea of the new Windows Store is to be an open platform that offers the best possible user experience for Windows 10 users. With the renewal, the company should also focus on it some of its main products, such as Teams, the browser Edge, and the Office suite. The company is expected to officially reveal its plans during the Build 2021 conference, scheduled for May 25.

it works with a none tweaked Windows installation.


Bingo, and the factor involved in "Tweaking" the windows install is the user, so they are the factor involved in things not working and "needing" to fix things.

About time, i mean i have not really had that much of a issue apart from updating games which still requires you to open the W10 store to do it, even if you have the gamepass app........so yeah make it more streamlined and more of a one click for all and i will be happy. lol

I even got HDR working on my PC with my Forza games, so just fixe the W10 store and get it more in line with how easy it is to update and on the xbox and we will be a sorted.

Yeah the app works great, almost just like having a xbox console inside your PC, but updating is still a chore, so i hope they fix this and streamline it, i just want a one click updating now option, and yes i have become very lazy. lol
