Windows 10: How can I remove entries in my Library in the store to stop them downloading when I click...

I Have just upgraded Windows 10 to 11. That went fine in fact after many thousands of Windows installs of the past 4 decades not strictly accurate I know that Windows hasn't been around that long but I have or more this was the least trouble free. However I go to the Microsoft store to select a new program to install & after that I thought I know I'll update some of the others so I clicked on get updates. Bad move. That caused everything I've requested through the store to start downloading & I can't find a way of getting rid of stuff going back to 2015. Uninstalling in Settings does

Remove app from Store library

Removing an app from the Library isn't supported yet, like Windows 10.

 

Where are DriverStore entries stored?




I've tried cleaning remaining crap from Panda Antivirus Free and RAPR seems to always fail. I've tried using pnputil.exe to manually remove the entries one by one and pnputil says files don't exist anymore.

Question here is, where are these entries stored so I can remove them from there? But I can't figure out how RAPR enumerates the entries. Where does it get the list of drivers and why it shows Panda ones if files don't exist anymore?

 

Remove app from Store library

This answer did NOT answer the question. You answered about Uninstalling an app. The question relates to REMOVING the listing of the app from the Microsoft Store Library listing altogether.

I understand the rationale for having the app still listed in the Store's Library. It's in the event someone decides to reinstall it at some later date, so they won't have to endure the "chore" of searching for it again.

But what happens if an app is installed and the user hates it, uninstalls it and then decides to NEVER reinstall it ever again? It is to this scenario that the original question refers. So, in this specific scenario is there a way to remove the app (not merely HIDE it from view) from the Microsoft's Store Library listing of apps on a given PC? Yes or No? If no, so be it.
