Microsoft Launches Web-Only Multi-App Installer in Microsoft Store

The option is live on the Store website as a limited pilot, featuring a curated catalog with a 16-app bundle cap.

Overview

  • Users select apps on the Store web page, then download one .exe that launches installations via the Microsoft Store app.
  • Reporters found the feature absent from the Windows 11 Store app, following a quiet web rollout spotted on X.
  • The catalog currently exposes a curated list, with BleepingComputer counting roughly 64 selectable apps.
  • Each package installs up to 16 apps per run to reduce Store server load.
  • Coverage notes parallels to Ninite, though Microsoft's approach offers less customization and relies on Store infrastructure.
