Windows 10: Can we please get a desktop installer version of Microsoft Store?!

Immersive Control Panel has the exact same issue which also stopped working nearly a year ago. My Windows 11 OS is a literal hybrid of Windows 10 Software installed on Windows 11 OS. Had to install Classic Notepad, Windows 10 Task Manager, Windows 10 Calendar, Windows 10 Taskbar and Classic Paint. Why? Because all of the updated versions of these widely used software programs all stopped working for me!All I ask if for a desktop installer version of Microsoft Stor

Microsoft Store > Apps > iMobContact > version problem

Hello Yann,

Thank you for the reply.

I suggest you to follow below mentioned steps and see if that helps.

Step 1: Check updates in Microsoft store:

1. Open Microsoft store.
   
2. Top right hand corner select ‘Downloads and updates’.
   
3. Click on updates for ‘IMob contact’.
   
4. Once all the updates installed, restart the computer.
   

Step 2: Uninstall the application using PowerShell command.

1. Click on ‘Start button’ and type ‘PowerShell’.
   
2. Right click on ‘PowerShell’ and select as ‘Run as administrator’.
   
3. Once you see a ‘PowerShell Window’, copy paste the below mentioned command line:
   

Get-AppxPackage *Imob* | Remove-AppxPackage

1. IMob application will be uninstalled successfully.
   
2. Restart the computer to effect the settings.
   

Note: If the package full name is too long, you may use wildcard selectors to uninstall any application found in the wildcard.

For example: Get-AppxPackage *officehub* | Remove-AppxPackage

Step 3: Once after following
step 2, try to download the 'IMob contact' application from store and see if that helps.

Hope it helps.
