Real question, apart from noobs (eg my Gran) does anyone use the store for anything? I certainly cant see any businesses wanting it on company machines for any

  Microsoft is moving more and more into the Store. Windows Calculator is now a store app, and there's a new Remote Desktop App that will soon replace built in OS functionality.

  I only moved to 10 this year as 7 was not supported to take a proctored exam. I want no part of the store, have disabled it, and have been able to install everything I want without it, even Windows Terminal and WSL. I'm not sure why I would ever allow it on my machine.

    If you want to use the nvidia control panel with the latest drivers or update the firmware on an xbox controller you need the store. So, gaming, essentially is why you would need it. If you don't care about that then I think it is pretty useless.

      You can't install nvidia drivers without the store, really?

        You can install the drivers but the control panel with all the useful features is a UWP app.
