This is news that should delight regulars of the Microsoft Store: the famous store will now allow you to install your games directly without having to go through the Xbox application.
As we took advantage of yesterday to discuss the new features expected with the September update for Windows 11, Microsoft is implementing some significant new features in its virtual store.
Microsoft Store: what’s new on the menu?
The Redmond company has just started the deployment of version 22207.1401.x of the Windows 11 Store to Insiders members (Build 25182). Thus, those with access to the development channel can, logically, already start downloading it. Among the fixes made, we find the resolution of an unfortunate concern preventing the Microsoft Store from displaying more than 2,000 reviews on a game or an application. But you guessed it, this is not the only novelty.
Until now, installing games directly from the Microsoft Store was simply impossible. Indeed, the store systematically referred you to the Xbox application from which you could then proceed with the installation. A situation that will soon change, as seen in the latest update reserved for Insiders members, which will make installing your games easier and faster. Better late than never…
Finally, when you search for a game from the dedicated bar, the Microsoft Store will now show you screenshots of the title in question in order to make everything more pleasing to the eye and to further refine your browsing experience. All in all welcome changes, which should help make using the Microsoft Store a little less tedious.

- Graphical redesign of the successful interface
- Improved snap
- Effective anchor groups
To be completely honest, Windows 11 seems to us to be a good evolution of Windows 10. Beyond the very marketing aspect linked to the surprise effect (Windows 10 was presented as the last of the last, remember) and to the essentially graphical redesign of the interface, the update brings a bit of clarity and modernity that are welcome after six years spent with an OS designed to reconcile Microsoft and its audience. We also like the discreet details that make it more functional, such as the improved snap and anchor groups, or even the refined management of virtual desktops. Finally, we are really convinced by the redesign of the Microsoft Store. By agreeing to return to the exclusivity reserved for UWPs, Microsoft is effectively hitting where it is not expected and finally compels itself to catch up on Apple and Google.
