Per Microsoft lifecycle policies, Windows 8 reached the end of mainstream support on Januand will reach the end of extended support on January 10, 2023. Updates to apps published on the store after July 1, 2023, won't be available to all Windows 8 RTM users except Windows Embedded 8 Standard users.
While announced alongside the "Developer Preview" release of Windows 8, Windows Store itself did not become available until the "Consumer Preview", released in February 2012. For consumers, Windows Store is intended to be the only way to obtain Metro-style apps. Further details announced during the conference revealed that the store would be able to hold listings for both certified traditional Windows apps, as well as what were called "Metro-style apps" at the time: tightly- sandboxed software based on Microsoft design guidelines that are constantly monitored for quality and compliance. Microsoft first announced Windows Store, a digital distribution service for Windows at its presentation during the Build developer conference on September 13, 2011. At this point, Microsoft opened a Web-based storefront called "Microsoft Store". Windows Marketplace was discontinued in November 2008. The marketplace tracked product keys and licenses, allowing users to retrieve their purchases when switching computers. Microsoft previously maintained a similar digital distribution system for software known as Windows Marketplace, which allowed customers to purchase software online. Before a program is added to the Microsoft Store, it must pass security, content, and compatibility checks. The biggest groups of programs were Games and Entertainment. In 2015, there were more than 670,000 different programs on Microsoft Store. When Windows 10 was released, Microsoft put Xbox Store, Windows Marketplace, Xbox Music, Xbox Video, and the Windows phone store all in one program they called Microsoft Store. It was first made for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 to make adding new programs easier for the users. Microsoft Store or Windows Store is an app store for Microsoft Windows, Windows Server and Xbox OS.
