As it turns out, Microsoft Store may not be used by the larger community due to obvious reasons, there are still some cases where we have to rely on it for something. If you have upgraded to Windows 11, you will have noticed that Microsoft Store has received a visual overhaul and now welcomes a lot more apps than it previously did.
