A new Galaxy Buds app for Windows 10 is now live at the Microsoft Store
More Windows 10 apps designed for Samsung customers are hitting the Microsoft Store as the two tech giants continue strengthening their partnership. The latest Windows 10 app to come out of Samsung’s development labs is called
Galaxy Buds, and it’s now available for download from the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 PCs, the HoloLens, and the Surface Hub.
Some of you might recall an older app for Windows and Mac OS called
Galaxy Buds Manager. It was released a couple of years ago via Samsung’s download center and it offered ways to manage and update the Galaxy Buds over a PC. It wasn’t an official Microsoft Store app, and it has since been dropped, though some third-party developers continue supporting it, or at least they’ve done so up until a year ago.

According to sources this week, Microsoft is working on a new version of the Store with fewer limitations, allowing a broader range of apps to be added to it.
As reported by Windows Central, a more developer-friendly version of the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 is on the way. Some changes will include allowing developers to upload unpackaged Win32 apps, as well as allowing developers to host their apps and updates via their own Content Delivery Network (CDN).

Microsoft is reportedly planning to reinvigorate the Store app on Windows 10 with a new design and policy changes that make the platform more appealing for both end-users and developers. The information comes from Zac Bowden of Windows Central, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Most Windows 10 users, even some die-hard Microsoft fans, can likely recognize that the current Microsoft Store is far from being the centralized hub for installing apps that Microsoft wanted it to be. In fact, Microsoft itself has come up with other tools to install apps on Windows 10 more conveniently, specifically the Windows Package Manager that was released last year. Not only that, but the Xbox division created its own storefront for games, further cementing that navigating the Microsoft Store isn t all that pleasant.
