Downloading and installing apps from the Microsoft Store website has become easier for Windows 11 and 10 users
Microsoft has introduced big changes to the web version of the Microsoft Store app store. Now every user can download executable application files directly from the website using the new «web installers& raquo;.
The updated store offers simplified downloading of applications and requires fewer user actions to do so. Previously, if you wanted to install a program using the web version of the Microsoft Store, you had to make three clicks: one on the website, one in the dialog box, and another one in the store mini-window.
This procedure was intended to combat malicious scripts. The scheme is now simplified by allowing one downloadable package to manage the required components, permissions, downloads and installations.
As a result, downloading an application now requires just two clicks: one to download the package and one to launch it. Plus, lightweight installers are faster than the standalone Microsoft Store app. The new web installers can also be used to get multiple applications at once.
