non-store apps

About this tag
Non-store apps are applications not distributed through the Microsoft Store. On Windows 10 S, a streamlined version of Windows 10 Pro, only apps from the Store are allowed by default, enhancing security and performance. This limitation means traditional desktop applications, often called non-store apps, cannot be installed directly. However, developers can convert their existing desktop applications into Store packages using tools like the Desktop Bridge, enabling them to run on Windows 10 S while still being distributed via the Store. This approach helps bridge the gap between legacy software and the modern, secure environment of Windows 10 S.
