The new version of Windows 10 blocks local exe installation: you must use the official store
exe is our most common application installer, but Microsoft has been trying to restrict it, mainly to prevent users' operating systems from being hijacked and attacked by malicious programs. From UAC (user control) to the upgraded version of Windows Defender, they all help to identify the "good and bad" of exe programs to a certain extent. Now Microsoft hopes to go a step further. According to foreign media reports, Microsoft is testing a new feature. In the latest preview version of the Creator Update (15042), an option that only allows the installation of store apps has appeared. That is, clicking on the local exe will be blocked from installation, and the prompt will jump to the store search. This looks very much like part of the rumored Windows 10 Cloud operating system interface, but it is unclear why it appeared in the Creator Update. But as we all know, the Redmond giant is working hard to promote UWP , so all the signs do not seem too surprising. It should also be noted that the Windows App Store allows Win32 applications to be listed , and it is not only open to UWP applications, provided that developers use the "Desktop Application Converter" to convert them.
