[FIXED] Legacy Edge extensions on Windows store after installing the new Edge
- Feb 25, 2020
Thank you Microsoft for the swift response to the feedback
All the changes are now applied to Windows store app and Windows store website.
that's true but for the 1 Billion people that use Windows 10 and their number is always increasing, Windows store is a great place to host the extensions.
Edge is cross platform, correct, but on the desktop only mac and Windows have access to it.
True, but it is upto the team. It is only possible after they integrate it with OS, probably with the shipping of version 2004 update.

I don't think so. Windows store can receive updates on its own, Windows update can take care of the rest.

That can be done, but only after Edge is deployed to all PCs through Windows Update. Otherwise the users of Legacy Edge won't be able to install the extensions....

Like I said in my post:
"I think the proper way to handle this situation is to either hide these extensions from Windows store once the new Edge is installed, OR show a message to user that: "it's not compatible with the current installed version of Edge browser"."
