Under Windows 11, Visual Studio is finally a part of the Microsoft Store

The Microsoft Store has been around for a decade but it hasn’t quite been able to achieve the main goal of being an app store – to be a safe place for all the apps you want. And things have been so bad that Microsoft hasn’t been able to get its own apps on to its own store yet. But that’s set to change with Windows 11. At least by a bit. Microsoft has announced that you can get Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio Community from the Microsoft Store with Windows 11.

On Windows 11, the big change with the Microsoft Store is that anyone can put up any app that runs on Windows in the store. It basically took almost a decade for Microsoft to achieve that.
