store apps inventory

The store apps inventory tag covers discussions about managing and preserving lists of Microsoft Store applications, particularly in enterprise environments. Content focuses on Windows Backup for Organizations, which now includes cloud-first backup of Store app inventories for Microsoft Entra–joined devices. This feature helps IT teams maintain user app lists during device refreshes, Windows 11 migrations, or after system resets. The inventory data is stored encrypted in the tenant's Exchange Online tenancy, enabling a consistent user experience during Out-of-Box Experience or reimaging. The tag is relevant for IT administrators managing Windows deployments and backup strategies.
