Removal of Microsoft Store for Business tab from Microsoft Store app on Windows 10 and 11 PCs

We will be removing the Microsoft Store for Business tab from the Microsoft Store app on Windows 10 and 11 PCs. The Microsoft Store for Business tab will continue to be available on HoloLens devices. 

Note: The retirement of Microsoft Store for Business and Education on Windows 11 was announced in 2021

When this will happen:

We’ll be gradually rolling this out to all customers on or after mid-May.

How this will affect your organization:

Users will no longer be able to see Line of Business products listed in the Microsoft Store for Business tab in Microsoft Store when this change is implemented.

We recommend adding your apps through the new Microsoft Store app experience in Intune. If an app is not available in the Microsoft Store, you will need to retrieve an app package from the vendor and install it as a line-of-business (LOB) app or Win32 app. For instructions read the following articles:

• Add Microsoft Store apps to Microsoft Intune
• Add a Windows line-of-business app to Microsoft Intune
• Add, assign, and monitor a Win32 app in Microsoft Intune

Stay tuned to the Intune Customer Success blog as we will be publishing more information about this soon.
