Microsoft Store

Microsoft Store (formerly Windows Store In Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10 versions 1507-1703), is a digital distribution platform developed by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows PC's and Xbox consoles.

It was first introduced in Windows 8 as an app store for Universal Windows Platform apps. In Windows 10, the app received an overhaul and was updated to accept UWP apps.

In September 2017, the app was re-branded as Microsoft Store starting with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

In Windows 11, the app received a major overhaul and was expanded to accept classic desktop applications as opposed to only accepting UWP apps.
