First of all, it offers a much better experience than the classic web store both functionally and visually. You can access it through its new URL.
It is worth mentioning that the new store called Windows Apps It has the same goal as the native app. We refer to the fact that it aims to help us explore content for the system, download and install it. It is also useful when we need to discover links through a search engine, for example. In addition, the new design is closer to Windows 11 and follows the path of fluent design. This is seen in the use of rounded corners or minimalist icons.
However, we must know that no support for dark mode, although it could arrive in later versions of the store. Unlike the classic web store, the new Microsoft Store does not allow to see certain information of the apps such as the last update date or the release date. Yes it shows the descriptions of the different titles, reviews, ratings and screenshots.
