The Microsoft Store has long been a valuable resource for users seeking new applications for their PCs. However, navigating through previously purchased apps can often prove to be a challenge. For those who enjoy acquiring apps through the Microsoft Store but find it cumbersome to track them, the latest Insider update brings a breath of fresh air. This update simplifies the process of managing purchased applications, making it easier than ever to keep tabs on what you own, including the option to filter by installed apps only.
The Windows Store Insider Build Makes Going Through Your Purchases a Lot Easier
As highlighted in a recent announcement on the Windows Blogs, Microsoft has rolled out a significant update on the Insider branch, introducing a suite of features designed to enhance user experience. One of the standout improvements is the revamped filtering system that now displays all products owned by the user, rather than limiting the view to installed applications. Users can still toggle this filter according to their preferences.
Additionally, a new search bar has been implemented, enabling users to quickly locate apps or games by name or publisher. This powerful combination allows for effortless discovery of any application associated with a Microsoft account.
Beyond these enhancements, the update also introduces several quality-of-life improvements. Notably, a dedicated downloads section has been added at the top of the interface, streamlining the browsing experience. Furthermore, users can look forward to limited-time game events, adding an element of excitement to their app management routine.
For those enrolled in the Insider program, the update should be accessible immediately. If it hasn’t appeared yet, users may need to wait a bit longer for the rollout to reach their devices. Moreover, those who haven’t explored the Microsoft Store recently will find a host of new features, including a search tool that provides personalized app recommendations.
