About this tag
Packaged COM is a technology introduced in the Windows 10 Creators Update that enables out-of-process COM and OLE support for Desktop Bridge apps. It allows Win32 applications packaged as UWP to expose COM extensions publicly by declaring them in the app manifest, overcoming the limitation of private registry hives. This is relevant for developers migrating classic Windows applications to the Microsoft Store. On WindowsForum.com, discussions also cover related user-facing features like the 'Ask Copilot' context menu in Windows 11, which can be removed by blocking a File Explorer shell extension or disabling Copilot. These topics reflect the intersection of enterprise IT, developer tools, and Windows customization.
