  If someone is able to download an exe and install a program, they're able to click on a link to the store and install the program... Besides, that article is outdated. As far as I can tell, every complaint has been fixed.

    Everone knows how to use a browser to some extent. Windows Store adds one extra step(either a complicated link or search in store) Yes it is a trivial step for most users but those needing the help most will struggle. https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/quick-assist https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/quick-assist is not exactly shining with positive reviews. That said I will evaluate QuickAssist and see if it actually meets my needs.

      That link gives me a wonderfully helpful "Invalid product ID" message. Not even styled, it's just a HTTP 400 page with some cookies and that message. No HTML. Yay Microsoft...

        Indeed! The actual link is https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/quick-assist/9P7BP5VNWKX5 https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/quick-assist/9P7BP5V... That is about as easy for grandma as 0118 999 881 99 9119 7253 phone number..
