New feature in Microsoft Windows 11 improves how apps are restored – Research Snipers

Microsoft has been trying to remove apps and the associated store for years, but so far it hasn’t really been successful. Recently, however, the company from Redmond has stepped up its efforts and also uses several useful features, including a restore function.

Microsoft Store for Apps should finally take off

For a long time, the Redmond-based company ran its Microsoft Store for apps rather unsuccessfully, but it has now grown significantly to support or will support Win32 and even Android apps as well. This greatly increases the added value of this platform and is certainly the reason why Microsoft wants to improve the functionality.

Concretely, this means that Microsoft is working on an improved functionality to restore applications. At this point, the Store library basically contains a list of previously installed or downloaded apps. Although these programs can be reinstalled, it has not yet been possible to install a convenient backup.

As Latest version of Windows reported, Microsoft is currently working on a feature called “Restore Apps”. The Redmond-based company first announced it at the Build 2022 developer conference – we’ve covered it briefly here – and it makes it possible to install apps with a click or on another device. The whole thing should be much easier and more convenient than visiting the App Library.

Restore all individually

Microsoft is currently testing two options for this new app recovery, which is to restore all selected apps. Everything is more or less self-explanatory: “Restore all” reinstalls all missing applications on a device, but you can also make this selection manually.
