While this bulk installation tool enhances convenience, its current app selection remains somewhat limited, and it is only accessible online—not through the Microsoft Store app on Windows 11 itself.

This move appears to be a strategic response to existing solutions like Ninite, as highlighted by Windows Central.

It’s worth mentioning that users can also leverage other Microsoft-supported methods to install apps in bulk. The Windows Package Manager, for instance, allows for the installation of multiple applications via a single command in the Command Prompt, which may require some technical familiarity.
