Microsoft tests new categories “Departments” in Microsoft Store for Windows 10

In the newest versions “preview” those Windows 10 News appear that the sight cannot be passed. One of these is about developing the platform for downloading, applications and utilities,Microsoft Store.
The new version of Microsoft Store Improves the interface of the store and at the same time the experience of users on the platform. There is a much more intuitive classification of content, in new menu “Departments“, where users can navigate quickly to the content of categories: Software & Apps, Entertainment, Devices and Deals (for the best offers). Under the four main branches, we find categories directed to specific content. For example, under “Software & Apps” We have quick access to: Office, Windows 10, Edge Extensions, Customize Windows and Software Support.

Why is this new approach with menu required “Departments” in Microsoft Store pe Windows 10?
Unlike App Store (Apple), Microsoft Store hosts besides applications and games and other types of content, such as: film, book, TV shows, Microsoft Edge extensions, hardware offers and more.
Microsoft most likely brings this new menu “Departments“, following the reactions of users, who have repeatedly complained that it is quite difficult to find a particular content in Microsoft Store. Precisely because of the variety of content offered by the Microsoft Store on Windows 10. The new classification should provide faster access to the sought content, but it remains to be seen how the function will be improved “search“. It would be preferable to provide reveal results, and the user to reach the content of him, and not to the one represents Microsoft's interests.
Preferably it would be to be added in a future version of Microsoft Store and a “search by category” for greater accuracy and more relevant results.

Until then the new menu “Departments” It is an oxygen bubble, but is currently available only for certain users, being still in a testing phase. Microsoft will gradually expand this Microsoft Store feature on all Windows 10 PCs.

Remember to keep your Windows 10 updated to receive the latest features and solutions to security problems.
