The latest update for the Microsoft Store brings a new feature for Windows Insiders to enhance their browsing experience. Now, when searching for content in the Store Search box, a new flyout at the bottom of the search display suggests content that users may be interested in. This update is available for Windows Insiders running version 22406.xxxx.x of the Microsoft Store and higher.
Browsing Games Per Category
Another exciting feature included in this update is the ability to browse games per category from the Gaming page. Users can now easily navigate through different game categories such as:
- Strategy
- Role-playing
- Shooter
- Sport
- Puzzle
- Simulation
This feature is currently being experimented in the US, UK, and CA, offering a more streamlined and organized way to discover new games based on user preferences.
Paint Update
Microsoft is also rolling out an update for the Paint app for members of the Dev and Canary Insider channels. The new update (version 11.2406.34.0 and newer) introduces improvements such as:
- Pen back button eraser support: Users can now seamlessly switch to erase mode by pressing on the eraser button.
- Pen support lasso select: The free-form selection tool can now be activated by clicking on the side button of the stylus pen.
These enhancements aim to provide a more intuitive and efficient experience for digital artists and casual users alike.
There is no official announcement on when these updates will be available for all Windows 11 users, but they offer a promising glimpse into the future of Microsoft's software ecosystem.
