Microsoft wants us to only install apps on Windows 10 from the Windows Store

  • Microsoft limits the installation of third-party applications on Windows 10 through the Windows Store.
  • The new restriction will be implemented with the Windows 10 Creators Update.
  • Windows users rarely use the Windows Store, preferring other installation methods.
  • The measure seeks to increase security by preventing malicious applications and pirated software.

Windows Store

Microsoft continues to work on the development of Windows 10, and with the arrival of the latest update, available through the operating system's rapid update ring, we can see a new feature that makes it very clear what the Redmond team is aiming for. Soon, we will begin to experience significant difficulties installing applications from outside the Windows Store , or in other words, the official Windows 10 app store.

This new option will come from the hand of the Windows 10 Creators Update, and without a doubt it will not like too many users and it is that with it Microsoft will look a lot, perhaps too much like Apple, wanting to give the Windows Store an excessive role as the that has the App Store.

Those of us who regularly use any version of Windows tend to use the Windows Store little or not at all, obtaining most applications and programs through other means . Microsoft wants to boost its app store, undoubtedly achieving significant benefits, but also complicating the daily lives of Windows 10 users.

This will also have its advantages and is that by being able to install only the applications that we find in the Windows Store, we will be far from being able to download malicious applications, for example. Of course, we can also forget about being able to install pirated software, at least in a legal way in the eyes of Microsoft.

Do you think Microsoft is right to force Windows 10 users to install apps only from the Windows Store? Let us know in the comments section of this post or through any of the social media channels where we're active. We'd love to discuss this and many other topics with you.
