Not to mention that everything that depends on an MS account (like the Store) is broken, and these days even adding a second keyboard layout post-installation requires "downloading features from the store".
- wredue 3y agoI don’t think it’s a problem to need to download extra keyboard layouts tbh, especially in a smaller image.
- hakfoo 3y agoI think the point is more that "OS Components" - updates, drivers, optional components-- are an entirely different universe than "third-party and purchasable content", which is what you'd expect the "store" to focus on. They should not be using basic OS features as a wedge to make sure you open that precious Store icon and log in. Nobody wants that, and the only person who needs it is some mid-manager at Microsoft whose bonus is tied to store numbers.
- hadrien01 3y agoThe Store doesn't require an account for free apps or updates.
- AshamedCaptain 3y agoThere is no store whatsoever. Anything that requires the store simply freezes.
- haunter 3y agoYou can simply enable (download and reinstall) the store in LTSC Powershell/Terminal: "wsreset -i"
- soraminazuki 3y agoThat's simply broken though.
- ZFH 3y agoYou're better off without the Store, but in rare event that it's actually needed for something there are scripts on GitHub to add it back in.
- majkinetor 3y agoyou can use winget to install store apps without store.
