Microsoft is developing a channel to launch an update for the windows 11 app store with some new content, including faster and better app updates. Compared with the mobile app store, the Microsoft Store is not particularly popular or preferred in the windows community. The idea of downloading apps or games through the app store is common on Android or IOS, but windows desktop users do not really rely on it.
However, it has improved significantly since the release of windows 10. Starting from windows 11, Microsoft has raised store services to a new level by increasing support for Win32 applications, web applications and Android Applications (Amazon app store).
The redesigned interface of the windows 11 app store provides a quick and easy way to find, compare, install, and update apps. Whether you have a free or paid app, you can keep them up to date by checking for updates in the Microsoft Store. However, when you open the app in the background, the store update is likely to fail. In fact, the store is designed so that it cannot determine whether the application is running in the background. Having the latest version of the store app means you can get all the latest features. Microsoft is willing to improve the store experience soon.
For example, if you click the "update" button in the store library, the Microsoft Store will immediately start downloading the latest version, but it will skip the update of the application you have opened. This will ensure that errors in the store are reduced and prevent any potential data loss events.
It is worth mentioning that if an application is updated through its own application page, the same process will apply to the update of the application.
As part of the performance update, Microsoft is also improving the browsing experience, so you can expect pages to load faster than before.
Another new feature is support for improved Android integration. When a new application is encountered while browsing the web, and it is available in the store, the user will see a new pop-up window with a link to the Android Application in the Microsoft Store. However, this depends on device compatibility.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is introducing local arm64 architecture support for the store. When on a Windows 11 arm device (such as surface Pro x) for faster and better performance.
