Question

Windows

What are the disadvantages and advantages in installing applications through the application store built into Windows 10, compared to manual downloads from the office. site and installation?
I'm going to install all sorts of things for programming and not only: Visual Studio, VS Code, Python, etc.
What's the best way to do it? Download and install manually or use the Store to the maximum?

Answer 1

Of the minuses - installation only in a fixed folder inside the user folder, as a result, it cannot be installed on another disk or for all users of the system.
Of the benefits - automatic updates, all installed programs are stored in the MS account, and if you need to rearrange Windows or deploy the environment on a new machine - all the software is installed in just a couple of clicks.
Specifically, in the case of Visual Studio and VS Code, these advantages are not particularly relevant, since they can update themselves on their own.
