Microsoft is simplifying the process of installing Windows store apps. A new standalone installer will download if you find Microsoft Store apps on the web.
Microsoft is starting to improve the experience of downloading Windows store apps from the web. The software giant has built what it calls an “undocked version of the Store” that works like a typical executable to install apps from the Microsoft Store. It should cut down on the complexity involved in finding Windows store apps on the web and installing them.
You click to download, you then click to open this new lightweight installer, and you still have to click install in the prompt that appears. Microsoft appears to have just simplified the process here by removing the prompt to approve the Microsoft Store being opened through Chrome or Edge. Not all Microsoft Store apps seem to support this new lightweight installer, though.
