Microsoft takes a swing at Ninite with its own multi-app install package feature powered by the Microsoft Store

Microsoft has unveiled an innovative feature within its online Microsoft Store, designed to streamline the app installation process. Users can now create one-click install packs for multiple applications, transforming the way they manage software on their devices. This new functionality allows for the seamless downloading and installation of various apps in a single action, consolidating them into a single download that users can execute with ease.

Effortless Installation Process

Upon visiting the Microsoft Store in a web browser, users will notice the newly added “Multi-app install” button. This feature directs them to a curated list of applications, organized for straightforward navigation. By selecting the desired apps, users can compile them into a multi-app install package. A simple click on “Install selected” generates an .exe file, which, when run on a PC, delegates the installation tasks to the Microsoft Store app.

This enhancement is particularly beneficial for those who frequently switch between computers, as it simplifies the process of setting up essential applications. The convenience of these install packages rivals popular multi-app install programs like Ninite, making it easier than ever to ensure that your favorite tools are readily available.

Interestingly, the option to create a multi-app install package is currently exclusive to the online Microsoft Store, with no functionality available within the Microsoft Store app itself. This distinction emphasizes the focus on a streamlined web experience for users looking to optimize their app installations.
