Although Microsoft is trying hard to make the Microsoft Store something useful, it’s still one of the most useless Stores on the Internet.

That said, using it is sometimes unavoidable, especially if you are someone who wants to use Game Pass on PC. This will force you into using the Microsoft Store far more often than you probably have in the past.
