Microsoft Store gets a dedicated ‘What’s new’ section with changelogs

The latest update of the Microsoft Store app has been released to Windows users. This update includes enhancements that allow for easier browsing of new features, experimental changes, and other improvements included in the latest version.

The “What’s new”section in the Microsoft Store is currently being made available to all users, not exclusively to Windows Insiders. This announcement was made by Rudy Huyn, who serves as Principal Architect at Microsoft.

To acquire the most recent version, access the Microsoft Store, navigate to the Library section, and select “Check for updates.”Afterwards, a “What’s new”button will be visible in the bottom-left corner of the application.

Currently, the new section includes recent changes, including some unannounced features like a new user interface for unlinking devices.

Experimental – Seamless Device Management: No More Store Exits for Device Limits

Hitting the 10-device limit? No Problem! With our new in-store native unlink device dialog, you can easily unlink a device right from the Store, keeping your shopping experience smooth and uninterrupted.

Experimental – Microsoft 365 Pages just got better!

Now it’s easier than ever to explore app features and compare subscription plans. You can compare monthly and annual plans to determine what’s best for you, and you can browse the features in various apps included in Microsoft 365.

New – Easier installation and launch

Now you can install content directly from the Store’s Home, Apps, or Gaming pages. Just hover over the product you want and click the Get button. When you initiate a download from the Microsoft Store, we’ll send you a notification when your app is installed and ready to use. This can be toggled off in the Store’s Settings page.

Despite not mentioning app versions, the new section provides a convenient location for staying updated on the latest Microsoft Store features.
