Microsoft Store Update

Microsoft has introduced some new features and a performance improvement for Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels running version 22311.xxxx.x of the Microsoft Store.

Install as you browse experience: Now, it’s easier to get apps in the Microsoft Store. You can install your favorite products directly while browsing the Store’s Home, Apps, or Games pages. When you hover your mouse cursor over a product, you will see the install button. This feature reduces the number of clicks required to dive into new products.

New Arcade Page for instant games: A few months back, Microsoft introduced instant games in the Store that you can play without downloading. After the update, the Microsoft Store has a dedicated page called Arcade where you will see all the instant games.

Performance while browsing: Microsoft promised that it made performance improvements for smoother browsing and scrolling through the various pages.
