Windows 10: Microsoft Store on Windows 10 is getting new ‘Departments’ option

Microsoft last week rolled out a new design for the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 and it aligns with the web version more closely. It appears that Microsoft has quietly pushed yet another update for Microsoft Store on Windows 10 with new “Departments” section.

Microsoft was A/B testing the “departments” section with Windows Insiders but starting this week, it is now available for everyone. Just like the previous update, this release also appears to be rolling out now via a server-side switch from Microsoft, rather than an app update.



Just in case you’re wondering, the latest version of Microsoft Store for Release Preview Ring Insiders is 11807.1001.1.0. You’ll find this new section “Departments” just before search option. If you aren’t seeing the new departments option, sit tight as it will arrive on your PC soon.

Clicking on departments option will bring another menu that lets you quickly find the relevant apps and products. There are four different categories – Software & apps, Entertainment, Devices, Deals.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
