More information
When you are connected to the Internet, Windows 8.1 clients obtain updates to Microsoft Store apps directly from the Microsoft Store app (visible on the Windows Start screen).
To update these Microsoft Store apps on computers that cannot connect to the Microsoft Store site by using the Internet, Microsoft has a collection of downloadable updates available on the Windows Update Catalog. These updates can be distributed by using System Center, WSUS and third-party equivalents, or slipstreamed into the operating system image that is used by your organization.
Windows 10 Patch Download
The intent of this process is not to bypass the Microsoft Store, but to enable computers that cannot connect to the Microsoft Store to update Microsoft Store apps on a recurring basis.
Frequently asked questions
Which Microsoft Store apps will be serviced through this channel
Microsoft is releasing packages for Windows 8.1 Microsoft Store apps that are listed in the release chart at the end of this article.
Will non-inbox Microsoft Store app updates such as OneNote be released
No. We are currently targeting the Microsoft Store apps that are distributed by default with Windows 8.1 editions.
Can third-party Microsoft Store apps be updated by using this process
No. The developer of the third-party app can make available the package, and it can then be Sideload Apps with DISM similar to line-of-business apps.
Will Microsoft continue to release updates
Yes. Microsoft will update the inbox packages for Windows 8.1 for customers based on need. Contact Microsoft support to request one or more packages be updated.
How do I get the updates
These packages will be available through WSUS and the Windows Update Catalog.
Which languages are available
The packages include all the languages currently supported through the Microsoft Store.
Which editions of Windows are supported
Windows 8.1 x86 and x64 editions are supported. Windows RT 8.1 is not supported.
Can I install these updates on Industry (Embedded) editions
No, Industry editions are not licensed for these applications and therefore updates to these applications are not supported. If you have a need for Microsoft Store apps for Industry editions, contact your account manager or open a support ticket for your request to be evaluated.
How do I create an image that includes these apps
We recommend installing the app updates as part of your post operating system deployment updates through WSUS. However, if you need an automated process, you can extract each .cab file to its respective MSI. Then, you can script the installation or deploy by using traditional application deployment technologies.
Can I use this to reinstall the inbox apps that are removed after deploying Windows 8.1 images
No. This process is only designed to update apps already installed on the system. If you are able to enable temporary access to the Microsoft Store, you can install the apps again and then maintain them by using this process. Or, you will need to deploy a new image that contains the apps.
Can the packages be installed offline
No. You cannot use dism.exe to install the updates offline. They must be installed through the .MSI installer to a running operating system.
When are the packages going to be shipped
