Its 2026 and the windows app store still doesn't work, some things never change.
It's been a while since I used Windows, but back then my company blocked the Store, so I couldn't install the Terminal through that. But it was easy to install through the released msix package - maybe you can install that through Winget?
not just use, people still pay for this shit
Does this mean Terminal is installed but one can only use it when one is logged into the store?
Or maybe I don't understand Windows logic; it's been over a decade for me.
Yeah, that's correct, though this is the "terminal app" which just allow you to have more customization, and tabs, you can still search cmd.exe and make it run.
Alternatively,
Installed POP OS. Connect the Nintendo switch to my laptop using MTP. Double click the file folder. Crashes.
Decide to just reset to see if it would fix it. The laptop loops at the authentication screen infinitely. Used a PC to transfer files instead.
Reformat and install Fedora Workstation since Lenovo ships with it. Installed Anydesk and Rustdesk and Wayland is extremely laggy and the hot keys do not transfer to the remote computer.
I think my next step is to install an xorg OS.
Fedora has built in rdp server. That's what I use. Laggy? Ya dude that's for office work, don't push more than 1080p, yes it's still gonna be inperfect
For gaming u gotta use sunshine moonlight or whatever they called. But that requires more fucking around with than I care
Probably using some AI to do fuzzy authentication or something. I had a window pop up like this on my work laptop for some random app it was checking for updates on but failed to authenticate for (just for that app, no other errors, hasn't popped up again since).
Don't sign into Windows with an online account. You can still do offline only accounts and it fixes this problem. The Microsoft Store still works too but IDK why you'd use that.
