Which version of your Windows ?
Hi bon,
Thanks for the app.
It has worked well in the past but in this Version 24H2 (OS Build 26100.1591) the MS Store window appears with a message that it couldn’t update –

Seems Microsoft has disabled Microsoft Store apps from running in Windows Sandbox. Starting with Windows 11, version 24H2, all inbox store apps like Calculator, Photos, Notepad, and Terminal are not available inside Windows Sandbox. This change aims to maintain the isolated and secure environment of the Sandbox. However, Microsoft plans to re-enable these apps in the future.
