The Microsoft Store is fast becoming the home for all kinds of different content types available on Windows, so perhaps it could do with an "Extras" tab.
Earlier this week, Microsoft rolled out an update to the Microsoft Store app on Windows 10 that added a new, dedicated "Edge Extensions" tab at the top. This means that Edge Extensions are now a prominent "category" of content that the Microsoft Store provides, which I think is wasted potential. Microsoft should be looking into adding an "Extras" tab that specializes in more than just Edge Extensions. Here's what I mean.
So far, in the latest version of the Microsoft Store, we have six categories. This includes Apps, Games, Movies & TV, Books, Devices, and Edge Extensions. Six is a fair few categories, but that doesn't even cover everything the Microsoft Store has to offer. The Microsoft Store houses other content, including themes, fonts, and even languages. If the Store has it to offer, it might as well be easy to find.
But, we don't necessarily need a dedicated tab at the top of the app for all these things, so why not create an "Extras" tab that incorporates these additional content types, including Edge Extensions, for easier discovery. The Extras tab could contain miscellaneous content like themes and fonts, as well as other system-specific content. And there is a lot of content that doesn't make sense under any of the other tabs in the Store.
