Microsoft is purging a lot of low quality apps from the Windows Store

"Microsoft is sending emails to some Windows Store developers informing them that their apps have been removed from the Store for violating its quality standards."

"Neowin reports that app developers have been receiving these emails over the past couple of days:

In its latest review of the Store, Microsoft is evaluating if the published apps are good enough to be listed in the Windows Store. This includes publicly available apps as well as private beta apps. Additionally, Microsoft is also asking developers to delete any promotional campaigns for their apps to prevent advertising charges. Similarly, app name reservations are also being nullified; which means that if your app is unpublished, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to republish it under the same name.

Officially, the policies for the Microsoft Store says that apps must have "distinct and informative metadata" and "provide a valuable and quality user experience". There are also some specific standards that must be in the apps, including having a name that is not similar to another app or device, along with offering a description that is accurate about its features and functions.

There have certainly been many Windows Store users who have complained over the years about the large number of apps published that are clones of other apps or ones that are simply poorly made. Hopefully, this new move by Microsoft will help to curb these issues, at least for now."

Microsoft Store India Hacked

Microsoft Store's Indian site was compromised, by a hacker group that calls itself "Evil Shadow Team". The site's landing page was briefly taken over by the group, which gained access to the user database. The group then replaced the front-page with its signature, that warned that an "unsafe system will be baptized." The outrageous part of this episode is that the group claimed Microsoft was storing the user database in plain text, which contains usernames, email addresses, and passwords. The site is now offline, the company is probably back in control. Microsoft Store was started in India to discourage piracy and offer genuine copies of Windows, Office, Visual Studio, at the lowest possible prices; Xbox consoles and accessories; and Microsoft hardware (peripherals).

Trouble launching Microsoft Store

Dear EMMANUEL AGYAFO,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community



Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the issues you're experiencing with the Microsoft Store on your laptop. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble, but I'm here to help!

Let's go through some steps that can often resolve issues like the one you're experiencing.

1. Reset the Microsoft Store Cache:
   
   • Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
     
   • Type wsreset.exe and press Enter.
     
   • A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close, and the Store will open automatically.
     
2. Check for Windows Updates: It’s important to ensure that your system is up to date as updates can contain fixes for the Store itself or components that affect its functionality. Go to Settings > Windows Update, and click Check for updates.
   
3. Re-register the Microsoft Store:
   
   • Right-click on the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
     
   • In the terminal, enter the following command:
     
     
     Wait for the command to execute, and then restart your computer.
     
     

If you've tried these steps and are still facing issues with the Microsoft Store, it may be helpful to look into the Event Viewer to check for any specific error messages related to the Store closures. To access the Event Viewer, type “Event Viewer” in the Windows search bar and navigate to Windows Logs > Application to find relevant logs.

Please try these steps and let us know how it goes. If the problem persists, we may need to explore more advanced troubleshooting steps or possibly even a system restore or refresh if necessary.
