The Windows store is locked down completely on my work laptop and I don't miss it.
The database for the Windows store gets corrupted periodically on my laptop making it impossible to and I rarely miss it. Whenever I've complained to Microsoft about it they tell me "create a new account and waste a day of productivity setting up all the software I actually use". I tell them "I know there's a procedure to rebuild the Windows Store database because it gets rebuilt and fixed whenever I install a feature upgrade -- tell me how to start it!"
HP used to make me install a program to use my scanner from the Windows Store which was why I used to ask Microsoft to fix the store. I got an Epson inkjet printer for which all the software is ordinary Windows software. Sent the HP printer to the reuse center.
At some point HP and other co's are going to get the hint and drop the Windows Store.
