Not all Windows Store apps will run on Windows 10 S

Posted on May 19, 2017 at 07:43 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

From ‘Softie Rich Turner, on the MSDN forum:

Just because an “app” comes from the Windows Store does NOT automatically mean that it’s safe & suitable for running in Windows 10 S. There are some apps that are not allowed to run on Windows 10 S, including all command-line apps, shells and Consoles.

That’s news to me. I bet it is to you, too.

Thx, @teroalhonen.
