It's completely inconsistent with traditional Windows design language and there's no "Cancel" button or an X in the corner to click on so you can't cancel out of it with your mouse and have to reach for Esc on your keyboard

It also tries to funnel you into a shitty Microsoft service

Has anyone ever used that Microsoft store?

It forced me to sign up so my brother could play minecraft bedrock. I had had it disabled but had to reenable it because windows threw a tantrum that I was using a non-microsoft windows account.

No because they started publishing their games on steam lol.

I have autoupdates disabled but around a year ago one got through and, for some reason, it uninstalled the default photo viewer that had nothing wrong with it. I tried to replace it with the one listed in the store and it just straight up wouldn't work. Windows and microsoft by themselves are perfect examples of how pathetic capitalism is at delivering good products.

I think old people and kids who only know phones with app stores are the biggest user demographics
