351How to Disable Microsoft Store Apps in Windows 10 [Tutorial]
We have seen how to disable Automatic App Updates in Windows 10/8. If you do not have any use for the Windows Store and never use any Windows Store apps, you may, if you wish, disable access to or turn off the Windows Store in Windows 10/8.1, using the Group Policy Editor.
The Microsoft Store that’s easily accessible from your computers that run Windows 10 plays host to oodles of applications and is on par with app stores you get from mobile operating systems such as Android and iOS. In fact, for some things, the Microsoft Store is even more impressive, as you can use it for hiring or buying movies, games, as well as for all your entertainment needs.
All the default apps you get with Windows 10 are from the Microsoft Store. You can choose to disable those—and every other application that you have the chance to install from the Microsoft Store—from the Local Group Policy Editor if you like.
If you do disable the Microsoft Store apps, it means you won’t be able to install any of the apps that you have already downloaded—or want to download in the future—from the Microsoft Store. Keep in mind though that it is possible to install applications from outside of the Microsoft Store if you have that option enabled from the Settings app in Windows 10. You will still be able to install any apps from outside of the Microsoft Store with that option enabled.
The following tutorial demonstrates how to enable or disable the Microsoft Store applications when you’re using a version of the Windows 10 operating system.
