Along with the latest Dev channel build, Microsoft is rolling out an updated Microsoft Store app. It improves the game listing, so you can clearly see if a game is available through Game Pass, and the price. Besides, there are performance improvements that make the Store even more fast and fluid.

They changes come to life with the Store version 22209. It will automatically reach everyone who is running Insider Preview releases on the Dev channel.
In the changelog for build 25217 Microsoft highlights the following updates for the app.
While finding games in the Store, we now clearly show when they are “available with Game Pass” as well as the current available price. On the detail page of such a game, we updated the button design and added a new section to let you know what is included in the subscription.
We’ve enhanced the library experience with simplified options and improved performance.
Besides the Store updates, Microsoft is rolling out an enhanced Chat experience. It brings up your own video before you start any call so you can quickly check if everything is fine with what others will see. The list of your buddies is also available directly. Even more, it is now easy to invite anyone to Chat with a special link the app provides.
In addition to inbox apps, build 25217 is notable for bringing up the ability to create and run third-party widgets for developers, which is one of the most anticipated features for the widget platform.
Finally, there is at least one hidden gem in this build. It includes new Search settings for the taskbar. Look like Microsoft is about to restore the search functionality which one could find in Windows 10.

Love using Winaero Tweeker! It was great to reset my Win11 Home back to more familiar-Friendly Win10 features. You should know that since 2 recent Win11 Updates- KB2017271 & KB5017389 on 10/7 & 10/8/22, the Installed version of Winaero Tweeker 1.40.0.0 No longer displays a “Enable Ribbon” option under Windows 11 List of options. These Win11 updates reverted my Windows Explorer back to the newer less friendly Ribbon options. I have found no way to restore the Win10 Explorer Ribbon.
That’s because Microsoft has killed the Ribbon tweak.
