    moving windows store apps to another drive


    becuase my system originally had a measly 256Gb NVME, i was storing as much as i could on the systems 1tb HDD, this included as many of windows store apps as that would willingly be installed onto the drive D:\ i recently upgraded my systems NVME to a WD_Black sn850X 4Tb. with all my newly available free space on C:\, I want top move as i can over to the much faster drive. i used the built in windows facilities to move as much as could, by going through the installed apps list and selecting the move option for the windows apps, but some of them seem to be 'stuck' being installed to d:\ and

    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 Similarly, app name reservations are also being nullified; which means that if your app is unpublished, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to republish it under the same name.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.
