About

Microsoft Store is a digital distribution platform for Windows that serves as a centralized location to discover, download, and install apps and software on PCs.

It provides a curated catalog with search and category browsing, automatic updates, ratings and reviews, integrated payments and subscriptions, developer distribution tools, and built-in security checks that verify apps before publication.

A progressive web application (PWA) is a type of web app that can be installed on a device and run as a standalone application while being delivered through the web.

It is defined via a web app manifest and uses a service worker to enable offline support, background caching, push notifications, home screen installation, and access to device features such as camera, geolocation, and storage.
