It's an installer that does the installation management stuff that the Windows Store app used to be required to do (handle prerequisites, additional downloads, etc.), so it removes a click from the install process because you no longer have to click the "Open Microsoft Store" dialog from your browser and you can just get (and keep) a download directly. Basically going from this:  to this:  No longer being dependent on the Microsoft Store app is a good thing. If you're concerned about Microsoft authored code running on your system being malware, then you might be shocked to know that they're already inside the house and don't need to rely on installer programs to get your computer to run things.

Also those downloader stubs have no protection against loading loose .dll from download dir (.dll hijacking). A security issue that was fixed in 2015/16 by most installers. https://twitter.com/WithinRafael/status/1782213111296229776

Why are you trying to install store apps without the store? I mean, I get some people have a massive anti-hardon for some of this stuff, but come on.

I think it's kinda traditional in infosec to show some desktop background outside the window when you're demoing an attack. "Yes this is happening on a normal machine." And how could you possibly crop that majestic cougar out of the picture?

Having a Microsoft Store app link open Microsoft Store to install the Microsoft Store app seems like the better approach to me vs. downloading some installer. I suspect what Microsoft is really after here is wanting to take power away from third-party browser configuration for how protocol handlers are handled (and blocked); but it's much nicer overall to have these downloads work like every other installer download you've ever worked with in your life. The DLL hijacking issue with the current installer package is a very unfortunate mistake, but I'm sure it'll be fixed quickly given it's an enormous security problem.

Is it an actual full, self-contained installer or does it just open Microsoft Store once it handles the dependencies?

Looks like the installer doesn't bundle any actual content about an app other than metadata; it fetches and downloads the full assets from the store at runtime. All of the installers are ~703KB. They don't actually launch the Windows Store app to do the install, they host their own UI shown by the installer EXE's process itself; which is almost certainly just the same code that the Windows Store app itself uses to show the installer UI, just pulled out into a standalone executable -- though I doubt it's actually fully done within the EXE itself, it's probably calling to an API to show a system-provided installer window XAML island in-process. biznatchio fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Apr 22, 2024 |

I don’t really need features, except HDR playback simply refused to work with my LG C2 OLED on windows 11. Now HDR finally works well even in a windowed video player.

The biggest feature that got lost/killed in the Windows 11 Start menu that I'm missing is jumplists. I really love the workflow in Windows 10 of right-clicking an application icon and then selecting a recent file to open. They still exist on pinned task bar icons so it's not like they are forgotten, entirely? But why are they missing in the Start menu.
