There is a short procedure, for taking the laptop out of "S" mode,
so you can move on. The majority of users, that's the first thing
they do. The only annoyance, is setting up an MSA long enough to
complete the removal procedure.
Only IT departments seek to shackle users to the drain pipe.
Q2 2022
Microsoft Store
44,275 gaming apps [copies of Flappy Birds, down from the original 200,000 copies]
10,000 apps hosted
personalization category
192 mobile titles [these statistics seem rather suspect]
And Linux is in the store, as Bash shell distros via WSL/WSLg.
Done out of sequence, you will be told there is a step to do,
before the Store will do the download (set up Bash shell to load distro).
The distro stays in a container (a previous version was a file tree).
