WinGet Download provides the ability to download Microsoft Store apps for offline distribution to other devices in your network. This feature replaces the Enterprise Offline feature from the Microsoft Store for Business.

How can I use WinGet 1.8 to download Microsoft Store apps?​

To use WinGet to download Microsoft Store apps, you need to have the latest version of WinGet installed on your device. You can check your WinGet version by running the command winget --version in a PowerShell or Command Prompt window. If you need to update WinGet, download the latest installer, run the command winget upgrade winget, or update App Installer from the Microsoft Store.

To download a Microsoft Store app, you can use the winget download command. For example, you can run the command winget download Calculator -s msstore to download the Calculator app from the Microsoft Store. This will create a folder in your Downloads directory, where you can find the downloaded app package. You can then copy the app package to another device and install it using the Add-AppxPackage PowerShell cmdlet. Run the command Add-AppxPackage -Path C:\Users\username\downloads\9WZDNCRFHVN5\Calculator.appx to install the Calculator app on another device.

I'm shocked they're now providing the offline license.xml. Which means you can provision some apps without connecting online, which has always been a huge complaint for making install ISO's.

    The five 8TB drives and three 512GB SSDs are part of a DrivePool using StableBit DrivePool software. The three SSDs are devoted purely to caching for the 8TB drives. All of the important data is stored in triplicate so that I can withstand simultaneous failure of 2 disks.
