Are we able to deploy the Microsoft Store app to device or user even if we have restricted/blocked the Microsoft store app in our environment??

If the new version of powerbi is there, how will we upgrade this version on the user’s machines.

Hi, I have come into a new environment where no UWP apps are installing on any Win10 Hybrid joined devices. Apps simply say ‘Download Pending’ but nothing is downloading after several days. Feel like I have exhausted logs but nothing seems to show errors or issues. I have removed any relating policies to the store but downloads still not working. Winget has msstore source listed but does not allow me to search results in msstore. I don’t know if this is related or not. Any guidance you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Also, Azure joined devices do not have this issue which to me feels like a policy somewhere. Many thanks

Great post. Thanks! Are there any plans to support paid apps in the future? What’s the recommended deployment method in the meantime?

This guy sums it up better than I did:

Basically, App Installer (Windows Package Manager” is installed with user privileges. When system admins go to use it, they only get the “Command not found” error. It’s not usable in a high-security business environment. This absolutely must be fixed before wide adoption will happen, and if the Store gets pulled out from under us in the meantime…

Please let MS know that their Package Manager simply does not ever work on any device I’ve tried it on. I’m used to package managers from the time I spent in the Linux world. There, you enter the wget command and it works (well, it generates a half-dozen “repo not found” errors, and a few more “dependencies not met” errors, but _then_ it works). In Windows, wget only ever gives the “command not found” error. I’ve spent enough time searching and tinkering, that I’ve given up. It’s a great idea, but needs to make several quantum leaps forward before I will be able to use it.

Why is the install behavior “system” is greyed out for all the Microsoft store app. The only option is “User”.

Thanks for the info! Do you know if there is a timeline for device provisioning capabilities?

Once again Microsoft has turned their backs on environments that need device based deployments / provisioning.
