Microsoft no longer allows administrators to block Windows Store access in Windows 10 Pro
Found on ZDNet on Thursday, 05 May 2016
Up until a month ago, admins could use Group Policy to shut off employees' access to Windows Store if they were running Windows 10 Pro. Controlling this access is a requirement for some businesses.
A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the change, noting that businesses who need to shut off Store access have no recourse other than Windows 10 Enterprise.
Driving visibility and use of Windows Store has been one of Microsoft's goals with Windows 10.
There is barely any other company who tries this hard to annoy their paying customer base. Usually, you would listen to their requests and demands, and deliver a product tailored to that. Not Microsoft. That company prefers to force unwanted changes down the throats of their users.
