Windows 11 includes a command-line tool, Store CLI, that lets you search for, install, list, and update Microsoft Store applications directly from Command Prompt or PowerShell. The Store CLI provides an alternative to the graphical Microsoft Store interface and offers distinct capabilities compared to the Windows Package Manager (winget).

Microsoft is integrating app updates directly into Windows Update settings in preview builds of Windows 11, allowing users to keep applications up to date without launching the Microsoft Store. The new feature appears as an "App updates" page within Settings > Apps, designed to provide an alternative update mechanism for environments where the Microsoft Store is unavailable or restricted.
