Working with our Windows based computer, we basically have two mechanisms when downloading our favorite applications. Either we use the websites to download the corresponding executables, or we download them directly from the Microsoft Store.
When we talk about this second option, we are actually referring to the official store offered by the Redmond firm to download programs to the operating system. It is one of the most important sections for the company and one that has been taken care of to a great extent since the birth of Windows 10. However, its acceptance has not been far from what was expected by its hundreds of millions of users.
Due to all this in Windows 11 some interesting improvements have been introduced both aesthetically and functionally. With everything and with it in these lines we want to focus on how to help other users when they use this store. The truth is that we cannot say that its categorization and search engine are the best there is. Here there is still much to improve to help in the localization of certain contents. But as we told you, we have some interesting functions at our fingertips to help others.
If we access the aforementioned Microsoft Store we find some categories that distinguish the types of software available here. We refer to sections such as applications, games and movies. From there on in each of these sections we see other subcategories, but sometimes too generic. But thinking of the rest of the millions of users who use the Microsoft Store, we can try to help you choose or reject applications here.
This is how you help choose or reject titles from the Microsoft Store
This is something that we can carry out through some integrated features in the system’s own official store. Specifically, we refer to the possibility, on the one hand, of qualifying and evaluating the UWP applications that we have installed and used. This is something that we achieve by accessing the store as such and the Library section. Here we find all the programs installed and that we have probably tried on some occasion.
Therefore, at this point, what we recommend is to use the Rate and Review function where we can show our real opinion about that software.
In addition to the texts that we can use here to describe our experience with that software, we can also establish a classification through the usual stars. All this will help the rest of the users to assess whether it is worth installing that application, or not, in a much more objective way than through the description of those from Redmond. At the same time, I am sure that we will also appreciate the opinions published by the rest of the store’s users.
But this is not the only system we have to help the rest. If we take a look at the evaluations in the form of text that others have left, at the bottom we find two icons. These do not serve to express if we liked that comment and we agree or, on the contrary. This is another very cool feature that we can use to help others pick and choose that software from the Microsoft Store.
