Use AppLocker to Block Microsoft Store Apps in Windows 10 If you like, you could use AppLocker below to block specific Microsoft Store apps. Are you sure this is what you wanted since you say "we have several store-only apps that are actively used by our users"? This policy will disable all Microsoft Store apps from running. Great!

The result is the MS Store opening up but displaying the message that is blocked. This blocks access to the store but leaves the option to run and use the apps already installed. HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore Found the key that does exactly what we are looking for: Just realized that this particular registry setting is blocking all store apps entirely, which was not the intent. Also, removing the store app completely is also not an option as we have several store-only apps that are actively used by our users.Īny input is appreciated - Thank youAhh - I spoke too soon. Note: due to the way we run things in our organisation, the first option to block access via local policy is not a viable choice for us. Anyone knows a way to do this through registry, and have the message that 'this app is blocked by the administrator" to show up?
