Windows 10 Pro: admins will no longer be able to block the Store

    Windows 10 Pro: admins will no longer be able to block the Store

    Microsoft's goal, in addition to imposing its own update policy where possible, is to push the Windows Store up and promote its use among users. This is why in Windows 10 Home (as in the “Home” version of Windows 8 / 8.1, by the way) the IT administrators they have never been able to block it with the group policy editor.


    Preliminary information

    We always recommend doing an installation through one 100% genuine and original license, this is to avoid data loss or hacker attacks. We are aware that purchasing a license on the Microsoft store has a high cost. For this we have selected for you Mr Key Shop, a reliable site with free assistance specialized in in your language, secure payments and shipping in seconds via email. You can check the reliability of this site by reading the many positive verified reviews. Windows 10 licenses are available on this store at very advantageous prices. Furthermore, if you want to upgrade to the latest versions of Windows operating systems, you can also purchase the upgrade to Windows 11. We remind you that if you have a genuine version of Windows 10, the upgrade to the new Windows 11 operating system will be free. Also on the store you can buy the various versions of Windows operating systems, Office packages and the best antivirus on the market.



    Behavior instead expected from Windows 8.1 Pro as well as from Windows 10 Pro or, at least, until last month: Microsoft has in fact deleted the entry of the group policy editor relating to blocking access to the Windows Store for computer users ed eliminated the contextual functionality also from AppLocker. Both, however, remain intact for Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Edu.

    Microsoft is committed to helping companies manage the workplace, giving people the choice of apps and devices to use for productivity both at work and in life. Windows 10 Enterprise is the offering we have designed for IT professionals to gain the tightest possible control over corporate devices.


    Indeed, given Microsoft's objectives and the strict categorization it has always drawn between the various versions of its operating systems, this makes sense: blocking access to the Store is the prerogative of corporate environments (to keep employees "at bay") and machines used in the educational sector (to keep students "at bay"), and for both scopes exist dedicated versions of Windows.

    Windows 10 Pro, on the other hand, is meant for the professionals and for small companies that usually do not require this type of precautions.

    Windows 10 Pro offers a subset of these features and is recommended for SMBs that need some management controls, but not the full set that IT professionals need for large enterprises. The ability to block access to the Windows Store is typical of organizations that require more control of corporate devices. This is within the scope of Windows 10 Enterprise.

    The only problem is this change has not been applied already in design but only as an update (being able to take advantage of the CBB branch, many professionals may have postponed it until they are forced to install it), therefore all companies that have opted for Windows 10 Pro instead of Windows 10 Enterprise and need to block the Store could find themselves at having to buy new licenses, an outlay that could be frowned upon for obvious reasons.
