Key points
- Easy installation/upgrades/uninstallation and purchasing; available everywhere Windows is officially sold.
- Apps can only be installed by downloading them through the Windows Store app (backups etc. aren't supported)
The Windows Store is an app store introduced with Windows 8 and Windows RT for distributing apps built using the new WinRT APIs. Purchased apps can be used on up to 81 PCs and devices at a time;[1] systems can be remotely removed from this total if they are dead, stolen, or otherwise inaccessible.
WinRT apps always run at the desktop resolution and scale correctly to all resolutions and aspect ratios but do not spread across multi-monitor setups. WinRT apps require a minimum resolution of 1024x768 (desktop apps can be used at lower resolutions as usual but WinRT apps will refuse to launch).[2]
Issues fixed
Windows Apps are shown in random language
- This is problem especially with systems using other main language than english.
- Windows Apps and Store use Windows language settings to determine which language to use and if none on the list matches it defaults to english. This means if for example japanese language has been added to list as IME, it defaults to it instead of english.
