I’ve been vocal about the poor Search experience in the #MicrosoftStore app for ages. But credit where it’s due—things have improved significantly. Game rankings feel relevant, and results are finally useful.
Great to see progress. It actually makes me want to build more games for Windows.

O shit. Just checked my Region and it was set to Namibia. I didn't do that. My language was English US.
Changed it back to US and now they are back. I guess they don't play my Sudoku over there. Just found out where Namibia is.
Sorry that I disturbed you.

I don't see any ratings in the Microsoft Store app. Only the Microsoft games have ratings. Is this a bug or a bad decision?

Great. Please also show how many Downloads an app has. Google Play Store has this. It gives a user confidence.

Really. How can I install extensions?
SSMS 21 Preview has an Extensions menu . But it doesn't have a 'Manage extensions...' menu option.

I just published my first C# Source Generator. It generates the >, >=, <, <= operators for a partial type (class, struct or record) which implements IComparable.

Found it. I forgot to select the 'Include preview' checkbox. Strange because the 'CommunityToolkit.Labs.Extensions.DependencyInjection' is shown without selecting it.
Any plans for a WPF version?
