Summary
Microsoft is making it easier to download apps on your Windows 11 computer. As part of an upgrade to Windows Search, the Microsoft Store will soon be integrated into the Start menu, so if you search for an app that's not already installed, a "Get" button will appear right away, just like in the store. While this is useful, some users may worry it could confuse unrelated searches.
