It's unfortunate that Windows seems to conflate sandboxing applications and central control of which applications are available. I'd love all the apps on my system to be sandboxed, but not if I lose the ability to install "unapproved" apps at the same time.
- dlp211 9y agoThis isn't a thing on Windows. You are not required to go through the store in order to install or run UWP apps.

Version 1607 last year both added the ability to double-click install modern (sandboxed) apps outside the store and for the store to carry desktop apps, so that there's no longer any necessary correlation between sandboxedness and storeness. (personally I'm not sure this is entirely a good thing TBH)
