WN12-CC-000110 - The Windows Store application must be turned off.

Information

Uncontrolled installation of applications can introduce various issues, including system instability, and provide access to sensitive information. Installation of applications must be controlled by the enterprise. Turning off access to the Windows Store will limit access to publicly available applications.

Solution

The Windows Store is not installed by default. If the \Windows\WinStore directory does not exist, this is NA.

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Store -> 'Turn off the Store application' to 'Enabled'.
