Disable Windows 8.1 Store Feature

Disable Metro App Store

I’m not advocating that all Store Apps are terrible and that you shouldn’t use them. I just don’t think it should be useful in a working environment and I really don’t want my users browsing the store downloading the latest FaceBook  or Twitter metro app. There are other methods in doing this, but I like how the registry handles this task.

*note – copy and paste the code below into notepad and save it as a *.reg file.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; Disable Windows 8.1 Apps Store Feature
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore]
"RemoveWindowsStore"=dword:00000001
