You can now install multiple apps simultaneously from the Microsoft Store

Microsoft has introduced a multi-app installer feature for its Microsoft Store, allowing users to compile a "shopping list" of applications for simultaneous installation. This feature is currently available only to select users of the web-based version of the Microsoft Store and has not been widely announced. Users can choose from 48 apps categorized into six groups, with a limit of adding up to 16 apps to their installation list at once. The installation process begins on the web interface and transitions to the Microsoft Store app.

Microsoft Store Web Now Lets You Install Multiple Windows Apps at Once

Microsoft has introduced a "Multi-app Install" feature on the Microsoft Store website, allowing users to select and install multiple Windows applications simultaneously. Users can bundle several applications into a single installer, which, when executed, initiates the installation of all chosen apps without requiring additional clicks or permissions. Currently, users can select from a curated list of 48 popular apps, including Netflix, Instagram, Apple Music, and Spotify. This feature is only available on the web version of the Microsoft Store, as the desktop application does not support it yet.

Microsoft Store on the Web Adds Multi-App Install

The web version of the Microsoft Store has introduced a feature that allows users to select and install multiple Windows applications simultaneously. This feature provides a user-friendly graphical interface and relies on the Store app repository. There is currently no official documentation for this feature, but it has been reported by Zac from Windows Central. The Microsoft Store website confirms that users can now “select and install multiple apps at once.” However, this capability is not yet available in the Microsoft Store app on Windows 11, suggesting a potential future update for desktop users. Some users may still prefer the Windows Package Manager (winget) for its versatility, as it can install applications from both the Store and a wider range of software available on the web. For those less comfortable with command line tools, alternatives like UniGetUI offer a more accessible graphical interface.
