    What exactly are you getting from the Microsoft app store out of curiosity?

      Windows Terminal + WSL, everything related to Xbox if you’re using Gamepass or “Play anywhere” titles (Xbox/PC cross-buy).

      Most basics apps are from the Microsoft app store too; calculator, calendar, paint, etc.

      It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used Windows, but you’d be surprise how much apps are now updated through that app store.

      If your device use Windows in S mode, all your apps must come from the store & you must use Edge.

        Ah okay, I didn’t know people used it that way and I don’t do XBox game pass or anything like that. It makes sense. My only real experience with windows store apps has been my work computer trying to install a “personal use” version of Microsoft teams from there and apparently I had to get the professional version through M365 downloads.
