Windows Store Applications

[mhaymore]

It'd be helpful if we could track Applications that user's install from the Windows Store. Is this something that can be tracked and added?

Agreed, this is a major requirement nowadays for an application that markets itself as a Scanning / Inventory system.

We have waited since 2016 for this feature. A lot of apps are from the Windows store now. It's like having a car that can only drive on 60% of the roads, it's not a full solution. Please pull your finger out and dedicate some resources to this now.

I agree with the above. If Lansweeper is incapable or unwilling add this ability into the next release, then I see no real use for Lansweeper as other venders already have this ability. One would assume you could create this, just lack the motivation to give us IT folks what we are asking for. We need a resolution so stop stonewalling us and tell is if you are going to or if you are not going to provide this so we can move on already.

2016-2019? what is the solution?

Throwing my vote in for this one as well LS, we need this feature, its not a want, its a need for an inventory system.

At present, we are pushing a powershell command then exporting that to a server share, so we can query etc, but this is something that should be in Lansweeper.

Any updates from Lansweeper on the ability to scan Windows Store applications?

With Windows 10 build 1803, our use of the Microsoft Store, especially "for Business" will greatly expand. LANsweeper, please concentrate on adding this functionality soon.

Over a year and is there any plans on making this work?
This is vital as half of the Windows 10 software isn't showing up in the Lansweeper lists.

The Windows Store applications are listed under Program Files\WindowsApps which we don't scan by default. Lansweeper scan software installations from the add/remove programs feature in Windows. However, if you want to scan this information you can use custom file scanning. The ability to scan Windows 10 applications by default is already on our customer wishlist, though we're not sure at this point if/when this feature will be implemented.
