One of the big parts of Windows 11’s launch last year was the new Microsoft Store. Not just a design overhaul to match the Windows 11 aesthetic, it was a whole new store experience. Microsoft has also brought it to Windows 10. However, it looks like the company is already looking to revamp the design of the new Microsoft Store.
According to reports, the new Microsoft Store can be seen on applications.microsoft.com. The page is named “Windows Apps Preview” which matches the current naming convention for Windows apps in the current store.
Of course, the obvious question is why Microsoft would update the store design just a few months after launching a brand new experience. Well Windows 11 is the answer. Although the new Microsoft Store brought some aesthetic changes, it was not a complete synchronization with the Flow design of Windows 11.

So while the functionality of the new store will remain the same, Microsoft is finishing the design overhaul to be more seamless in Windows 11. This is evident in the image on apps.microsoft.com, which shows the more rounded corners and the simpler icons of the new Windows operating system.
Store update
The new page is titled “Windows Apps Preview”, which follows the naming convention of the current experience which is dubbed “Windows Apps” and does not include the “Preview” text, obviously. The updated page serves the same purpose of providing an online portal that you can use to explore content when you don’t have access to a device that has the Microsoft Store installed.
When Microsoft unveiled the new Store last year, the company described it as a universal app marketplace.
developers can use their own content delivery networks. Also for developers, it is now possible to use third-party commerce tools. Microsoft says these developers can keep 100% of the revenue they earn from their apps. This is clearly a direct hit against Apple, which Microsoft has criticized for its revenue practices with the App Store.
