In this article, we will talk about the New Microsoft Store App in Windows 11 (August 2024 Update).
Microsoft is beginning to roll out the August 2024 update for the Microsoft Store to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels. The update will be available for Windows 11 devices (version 22407.xxxx.x and higher).
New Library Page
The default filters now show all the products you own, not just products that are installed (you can still toggle this filter if you wish). They also added a search bar that will help you find the name or the publisher of products you’re looking for. Combined with the first change, this new experience is powerful: you can easily find any app and game you’ve ever acquired with your Microsoft account.
New Downloads Page
Microsoft is moving the list of updates and downloads from the top section of the library to its own dedicated page. This new page displays your list of active downloads or pending updates, and it shows the list of recent installs or updates. Version notes will also be displayed for a pending update or active download.
New Events
Microsoft is experimenting with a new section on the Games page in some regions that will showcase select partners with in-app events. They partnered with game publishers to highlight real events that will be occurring during the test period.
New Microsoft Store Badge
Microsoft refreshed the design of the Microsoft Store badge with a more refined call-to-action to give users more confidence to acquire your app.
