John A Posted May 5, 2017 ID:1122499 Share Posted May 5, 2017 New computers with Windows 10 S will be arriving soon. Windows 10 S only allows apps to be installed from the Microsoft Store. Will there be a Malwarebytes Store app available? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted May 5, 2017 ID:1122506 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) There offering a free upgrade to 10 pro for a limited time from what I read then you will have the ability to run MB. As much as I love 10 those machines are not going to be very great in specs depending on the model and OEM. But I will definitely take a good look since I will see them soon for repairs/disposal.

davei1 Posted May 5, 2017 ID:1122508 Share Posted May 5, 2017 It's my understanding that many existing .exe applications will be able to be made into one of these new "centennial" apps for Win10s (By putting it in a UWP type wrapper)...It's meant to be a bridge technology (As UWP wasn't doing so good with adoption)...But a Win32/x64 antivirus/malware program would probably not work so well in a wrapper...

John A Posted May 6, 2017 Author ID:1122568 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I think the free upgrade to Pro doesn't apply to the cheaper laptops & netbooks. But I suppose many will pay the small upgrade fee to get the Pro version. But the question still stands: does Malwarebytes have plans to produce a Store app (albeit limited) for Win10S?

I probably going to agree with this, its probably going to be like those NetBooks, and we all now those (laptops) did not have the greatest specs and could not be upgraded too much...
