The official version of Win11 will be launched later this year, which includes a redesigned start menu and notification center, as well as an application store.
According to Microsoft’s official statement, the Win11 application store will allow applications built by almost any framework, including Win32, .NET, Java, UWP and Web applications.
For Win32 applications (traditional .exe programs), Microsoft will allow developers to submit unpackaged Win32 applications in the Win11 app store, and can use a custom content delivery network for hosting and updates, but there seems to be a problem.
According to the official documents of the Microsoft App Store , users will not be able to receive updates for Win32 applications from the Win11 store , and developers need to design their own update mechanism.
In addition, Microsoft also allows developers to publish a simple installation package in the Win11 store , which users download and install separately, just like Microsoft’s own Edge browser.
Naijatechnews learned that in Twitter, Microsoft official Rudy Hyun confirmed this document description. For this reason, the Win11 application store will clearly indicate the applications that cannot be updated through the store .
For example, Microsoft’s official Edge browser is marked ” provided and updated by Microsoft Corporation II “, and everyone can check it out when downloading.
