Microsoft Store(以前称为Windows Store )是消费者可以下载(Windows Store)应用程序(Apps)和游戏(Games)的集中场所。虽然您始终可以在 Microsoft 数字商店之外下载软件,但(Store)商店(Store)中有很多可用的软件。在这篇文章中,我们编写了Windows 10 应用商店快速入门指南(Quick Start Guide for Windows 10 Store)来帮助您入门。
如何使用微软商店
Windows Store 重命名为Microsoft Store的主要原因是它不再是关于软件的。Microsoft还列出了Hardware and Accessories,但可能会根据国家/地区进行限制。以下是我们将在这篇文章中介绍的主题列表:
- Add/Remove Microsoft Account到Microsoft Store
- (Install)从Microsoft Store(Microsoft Store)安装应用程序或游戏
- 付款、商店设置(Store Settings)和我的图书馆(My Library)等
- 查找已安装的应用程序(Apps)并管理(Managing)它们
当您启动商店(Store)时,顶部菜单会显示热门类别,例如游戏(Gaming)、娱乐(Entertainment)、生产力(Productivity)和特卖(Deals)。在Home下,您有一个轮播显示热门应用和游戏。紧随其后的是 Top Apps、Featured、Top Games和Collections。随着您继续使用商店(Store),您还将在“为您精选(Picks)”部分、热门免费应用程序等下收到个性化建议。
1]Add/Remove Microsoft Account到Microsoft Store
您应该知道的第一件事是,要使用商店,您需要使用Microsoft帐户。如果您创建了与Microsoft帐户相关联的Windows帐户,那么您将使用该帐户登录。如果您想使用其他帐户,您可以随时退出并添加其他Microsoft帐户。
- 要切换Microsoft帐户,请单击应用商店右上角的个人资料图标,然后注销。
- 再次单击(Click)个人资料(Profile)图标,然后单击登录(Sign-in)。现在您可以使用其他帐户或现有帐户。
也就是说,Microsoft Store 也允许您添加多个帐户。它可以是您的工作或学校帐户。如果商店中有仅适用于您的公司或学校帐户的应用程序,那么您可以在此处添加它们,然后安装该应用程序。
2]如何(How)从Microsoft Store安装应用程序或游戏(Microsoft Store)
- 点击(Click)左上角个人资料图标旁边的搜索图标
- 键入应用程序名称,然后按Enter键。您应该在键入时看到应用建议。
- 搜索结果将分为应用程序(Apps)、游戏(Games)、Xbox相关项目等。
- 如果您注意到,有两个重要的过滤器可用
- 部门(Department)或类别(Category),例如应用程序(Apps)、游戏(Games)、电影(Movies)、电视节目(Shows)、会员(Membership)和头像项目(Avatar Items)
- 适用于PC/Xbox/HoloLens/Mobile
- 单击(Click)查看全部(View All)链接以展开类别中的搜索
- 找到应用程序后,单击“获取”(Get)按钮开始安装以添加到购物车。
- 稍后您可以结帐并批量安装它们。
- 如果是付费申请,您可以在结帐时付款。
安装后,所有应用程序都将在“开始”菜单(Start Menu)中可用。
3]付款(Payment)、商店设置(Store Settings)和我的图书馆(My Library)等。
与其他所有应用程序一样,Microsoft Store也有其设置。我建议您查看它们并根据您的选择配置它们。单击(Click)您的个人资料旁边的三个点菜单,然后单击我的图书馆(My Library)。它将显示您曾经拥有(reveal all the apps you have ever owned)的所有应用程序,并可选择按最新排序或按名称排序。左边的菜单非常有用。您可以访问All Owned、Installed、Ready to Install、Downloads、Xbox Game Pass 和 Xbox Live Gold。(All Owned, Installed, Ready to Install, Downloads, Xbox Game Pass, and Xbox Live Gold.)
由于商店(Store)与Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft Account)相关联,因此当您单击“付款选项(click on Payment options)”时,它将带您进入在线Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft Account)页面。无论包含何种付款方式,付款时都会出现在此处。

设置菜单使您可以访问一些基本功能,例如禁用自动更新的选项、动态磁贴设置、视频自动播放、离线权限,最重要的是每次购买都要求输入密码。Microsoft经常显示建议并安装一些应用程序作为默认安装的一部分;我们建议您将其关闭以停止安装不需要的应用程序。
4]查找(Finding)已安装的应用程序(Apps)并管理(Managing)它们
安装应用程序时,它会出现在“开始(Start)”菜单中最近安装的应用程序下。您还可以通过单击按字母顺序排序的列表来找到它们。如果您经常使用某个应用程序,我建议您将其固定到“开始”菜单(Start Menu)或任务栏(Taskbar)或两者兼而有之。
当您右键单击任何应用程序时,您还可以访问与该应用程序相关的快速操作。因此,当我右键单击Xbox 控制台(Xbox Console)配套应用程序时,我可以立即访问我的游戏、消息、成就、捕获、Microsoft Store、趋势、连接到控制台等。Microsoft还提供了一个上下文菜单,您可以使用该菜单对应用程序进行评分、评论和共享。
要卸载应用程序,您有一个直接卸载选项。您还可以通过转到Settings > Apps > Apps and Feature. 选择(Select)您要删除的任何应用程序,然后单击卸载按钮。
Microsoft在每次更新时都在不断发展Microsoft Store 。选项可能会随着时间而改变。如果您发现任何值得更改的内容,我们计划保持更新,请告诉我们。

How to use Microsoft Store to download Windows 10 apps & games
Microsoft Store, earlier known as the Windows Store, is a centralized place from where consumers can download Apps and Games. While you can always download software outside Microsoft’s digital Store, there are a lot of them available in the Store. In this post, we have written our Quick Start Guide for Windows 10 Store to help you get started.
How to use Microsoft Store
The primary reason why Windows Store was renamed to Microsoft Store because it’s just about software any more. Microsoft also lists Hardware and Accessories, but it could be limited based on the country. Here is the list of topics we will cover in this post:
- Add/Remove Microsoft Account to Microsoft Store
- Install an application or game from the Microsoft Store
- Payment, Store Settings and My Library, and more
- Finding installed Apps and Managing them
When you launch the Store, the top menu displays popular categories such as Gaming, Entertainment, Productivity, and Deals. Under Home, you have a carousel displaying popular apps and games. Followed by it, you have Top Apps, Featured, Top Games, and Collections. As you keep using the Store, you will also receive personalized suggestions under the “Picks for you” section, top free apps, and so on.
1] Add/Remove Microsoft Account to Microsoft Store
The first thing you should know is that to use the Store, you need to use a Microsoft account. If you have created a Windows account that is linked with a Microsoft account, then you will be signed in using that account. If you want to use another account, you can always sign out and add a different Microsoft account.
- To switch the Microsoft account, click on the profile icon on the top right corner of the app store, and signout.
- Click on the Profile icon again and click on Sign-in. Now you can use a different account or an existing account.
That said, Microsoft store allows you to add multiple accounts as well. It can be your work or school account. If there is an app available on the Store which only works with your corporate or school account, then you can add them here, and then install the app.
2] How to install an application or game from the Microsoft Store
- Click on the search icon on the top left, next to the profile icon
- Type the app name and press the Enter key. You should see the app suggestion as you type.
- The search result will be categorized into Apps, Games, Xbox related items, etc.
- If you notice, there are two important filters available
- Department or Category such as Apps, Games, Movies, TV Shows, Membership and Avatar Items
- Available on PC/Xbox/HoloLens/Mobile
- Click on View All link to expand the search in the category
- Once you find the app, click on the Get button to start the installation to add to the cart.
- Later you can checkout and install them in bulk.
- If its paid application, you can make the payment during checkout.
Once installed, all the applications will be available in the Start Menu.
3] Payment, Store Settings and My Library, and more.
Like every other application, Microsoft Store has its settings. I recommend you should take a look at them and configure them according to your choice. Click on the three dots menu next to your profile and click on My Library. It will reveal all the apps you have ever owned with an option to sort by most recent, or sort by name. The menu on the left is what is incredibly useful. You have access to All Owned, Installed, Ready to Install, Downloads, Xbox Game Pass, and Xbox Live Gold.
Since the Store is linked to a Microsoft Account, when you click on Payment options, it will take you to the online Microsoft Account page. Whatever payment method is included, there will appear here when you make payment.

The settings menu gives you access to some of the essential features such as the option to disable automatic updates, live tile settings, video autoplay, offline permissions, and the most important is to ask for the password for every purchase. Microsoft often shows suggestions and installs some apps as part of their default installation; we suggest you turn it off to stop installing unwanted apps.
4] Finding installed Apps and Managing them
When you install an application, it will appear under recently installed apps in the Start menu. You can also find them by clicking on the alphabetically sorted list. If you use an application often, I would recommend you to pin it to Start Menu or Taskbar or both.
When you right-click on any of the apps, you also get access to quick actions related to the app. So when I made a right-click on the Xbox Console companion app, I get immediate access to My games, messages, achievements, capture, Microsoft Store, trending, connect to console, and so on. Microsoft also offers a context menu that you can use to rate, review, and share the app with others.
To uninstall an application, you have a direct uninstall option. You can also install apps by going to Settings > Apps > Apps and Feature. Select any application you wish to remove, and then click on the uninstall button.
Microsoft keeps evolving Microsoft Store with every update. It is possible that the options might change a bit with time. While we plan to keep it updated if you see anything which is worth a change, let us know.
I hope the Quick Start Guide for Windows 10 Microsoft Store is helpful to you.
