The company is going to restart the store for Windows 10 in 2021, the publication writes.
The restart of the Microsoft Store app should come along with a general OS update internally called Sun Valley, Windows Central sources familiar with the matter said. It should be released by the end of 2021.
The application will have a “modern and flexible” user interface, and the installation of large applications from it will become more stable. The company will also update the policy for developers — the rules will not be so strict.
For example, according to sources, Microsoft will allow developers to use third-party payment services in applications. The company wants to position the Store as an open platform that will allow users to easily find applications, the publication writes.
The company is likely to announce its plans at the Build 2021 conference, which will be held from May 25 to 27.
The Windows 10 update in 2021 was announced by Windows Central sources in October 2020. In particular, according to the publication, the company will update the Start menu and the Action and Notification Center.
