UPDATE 8/13: Now rolling out to the Beta channel.
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are beginning to roll out our August 2024 update for the Microsoft Store to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels. The update will be available for Windows 11 devices (version 22407.xxxx.x and higher).
An updated library experience
In this update, we are introducing changes to the library page. First, we have improved the default filters to show all the products you own, not just products that are installed (you can still toggle this filter if you wish). Next, we’ve added a search bar that will help you find the name or the publisher of products you’re looking for. Combined with the first change, this new experience is powerful: you can easily find any app and game you’ve ever acquired with your Microsoft account.
A revamped library page experience in the Microsoft Store.
A new page for updates and downloads
We are also moving the list of updates and downloads from the top section of the library to its own dedicated page. This new page displays your list of active downloads or pending updates, and it shows the list of recent installs or updates. Version notes will also be displayed for a pending update or active download.
Get updates for apps and games in Microsoft Store in Windows 11
This tutorial will show you how to manually check for app and game updates to download and install in the Microsoft Store for your account in Windows 11. Microsoft redesigned the Microsoft Store from the ground up in Windows 11, making space for more content, keeping the user experience simple...

A new page for updates and downloads in the Microsoft Store.
To all Microsoft Store developers, we invite you to update the “What’s new” section of your app or game submissions with up-to-date information. Those version notes will appear here for your customers to see.
Limited time events
We are experimenting with a new section on the Games page in some regions that will showcase select partners with in-app events. We have partnered with game publishers to highlight real events that will be occurring during the test period.

The updated Microsoft Store badge is here!
We’ve refreshed the design of the Microsoft Store badge with a more refined call-to-action to give users more confidence to acquire your app.
The new Microsoft Store badges.
These changes are live on the badge creator page, as well as on any website that currently uses the Microsoft Store badge. For developers that have already been using these externally, you’ll automatically get the new badge. If you haven’t been using them, now’s a great time to get one for your app and increase reach.
To learn more about the new badge, including creating one and best practices, head over to our Microsoft Learn page.
[These features are beginning to roll out, so they may not be available to all Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels just yet as we plan to monitor feedback and see how it lands before pushing them out to everyone.]
Please try out these changes and let us know what you think. Our team is always listening for feedback!
FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Microsoft Store.
Thanks,
Microsoft Store Team
