To set up Applocker, you need still to create a custom CSP Rule. With Applocker we can define which UWP apps may be installed from the Microsoft Store If you don’t have the proper licensing but you still want to restrict access to the Microsoft Store, you could configure some Applocker Store App Rules The Require Private Store device configuration profile will block all access to the Microsoft Store in Windows 11! 2. The same setting in Windows 11 will cause some different behavior because in Windows 11 there is no such thing as a Private store. When you take a look at the Microsoft Store in Windows 10, you will notice only your Private/Store Company Microsoft Store apps are available. The RequirePrivateStoreOnly needs a Windows 10 Education or Enterprise edition to function. Just search Require Private Store Only and enable it.īut beware of the licensing requirements.

Or if you prefer the Settings Catalog (Duh… of course, you do). User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ApplicationManagement/RequirePrivateStoreOnly I guess it’s the most restrictive solution you have. We will begin with the option to only show the private store and nothing more.

This blog will be about securing the forgotten Microsoft Store.
