From PC Mag: Microsoft has updated the Microsoft Store with multi-app install bundles, streamlining the Windows 11 PC setup process, and making it easier to access a range of complementary apps.
Working in a similar fashion to the popular third-party Ninite tool, the multi-app selection process allows you to create a custom bundle and run all downloads and installations simultaneously, Windows Central reports.
I'm not sure if I've ever encountered anyone who likes the Microsoft Store. As someone long-accustomed to downloading standalone programs from various online sources and installing them manually, the app-store-style approach always seemed unnecessary. But multi-app bundles that you can customize to speed up setup and installation give it additional utility, which could make it far more useful to everyone moving forward.
On the Microsoft Store, look for the small "Multi-app install" button on the top-right. This takes you to an app selection page where you can toggle any apps from a list of pre-determined options into your own custom download installer.
Options include "Productivity" apps like Adobe's Acrobat Reader, Microsoft Teams, OneNote, ChatGPT, iCloud, and Dropbox. There are also "Creativity" apps like CapCut, Canva, and Photoshop, as well as "Social" apps like Telegram, Facebook, and Instagram, and others for Entertainment, Tools, and Personalization.
