However, lately, people haven’t really been that happy with the way it works, due to some bugs that were mostly fixed, and because of the lack of some of the popular apps. Microsoft, on the other hand, is doing everything in its power, apparently, to make this a much more stable and useful experience for everyone involved.

New animated icons for the Microsoft Store

Recently, the Redmond tech company added another small yet effective touch to the Microsoft Store for Windows 11. It animated, sort of, the icons on the left side of the Store window, so they react when you click on them. It’s not a big change, but it gives it more of a Windows 11 vibe. This has been spotted by Windows Insiders that are currently testing the new OS on the Dev Channel, version Version 22202.1402.0.0. Respondents to the Reddit post were both pleased with the new addition and displeased with the fact that Microsoft ignores obvious areas where the software actually needs serious work. Another complaint users have about the Windows 11 Store is the fact that it’s still sluggish and can’t compete with the old version. Spanish users are also unhappy with some of the choices that the tech giant made for the application, specifically the name of one of the categories. Even though this doesn’t seem like such a big deal to the naked eye, some people actually feel like the translation is not at all accurate and could use some work, considering that it’s an official Microsoft product. All is not lost, however, as we are pretty sure that Microsoft will take the necessary steps to improve this experience as well. These changes will soon roll out to the general public, once Insiders deem them bug-free and ready for worldwide usage. They will most likely make their way into our PCs via a Windows Update, so look for them after you have downloaded and installed a brand new one. Don’t forget that you can now find Adobe’s Creative Cloud Express on the new Store, on the off chance you were looking for it.
