It's not part of the May release, but you will see it in Insider flights later this summer.

    Its part of the latest Windows Insider preview builds (18999 or later). The MSIX Packaging Tool does not yet support capturing. That will be coming in the next release.

    TIMOTHY_MANGAN I was speaking to the OS. Support for services is one of the few things that will require an OS update.
