Can I install Microsoft To-DO without accessing the Windows Store? Currently the Windows Store is banned in my work laptop due to cooperate security policy. I had to end up using the web version, which is pretty bad at notifying. I was just wondering if I could install the windows native version without accessing the Store.
If you are on windows 11 you should have winget (microsoft package manager).
To install Microsoft to do, open PowerShell as admin and run this command: winget install 9NBLGGH5R558
note: if you don't have admin credentials, the command should run even of you run Powershell as a regular user.
9NBLGGH5R558 is the ID for the To Do app: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/microsoft-to-do-lists-tasks-reminders/9NBLGGH5R558
note it at the end of the URL, if the ID changes, replace that with the current ID. You can figure that out by going to the Microsoft store on the web and search for the Microsoft to Do.
if you don't have winget, run this script in Powershell as admin:
$ProgressPreference='Silent'
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/download/v1.3.2691/Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle -OutFile .\MicrosoftDesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx -OutFile Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx
Add-AppxPackage Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx
Add-AppxPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle
the script might change so please check for updates here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/
hope this helps.
There is an easy way to do this, you just need to use an app called alt app installer (free and open-source) then choose the app you want to install (in your case its todo app) then click select it will download and install the app for you
no need of Microsoft store or anything, unlike other methods mentioned in reply this one doesn't require you to manually download the app or run some commands all are done automatically for you.

Xueli Tian I am in the same boat. I want to install Microsoft To-Do but the store has been disabled enterprise wide.
Will Findlay You can go to store.rg-adguard.net and drop the to-do store link in there to extract the appx. 🙂
that's a url, so it should behave as one.
I want to install Microsoft To DO, in my company is not permitted the micrososft store use, thanks for you support.

Unable to download Microsoft to do App through an executable
Look at me, I'm on another Microsoft forum post trying to do something pretty normal and I have to jump through hoops to do it.
Surprise surprise. As always, thanks again to those who offer their time in providing us with reasonable solutions.
Xueli Tian I was able to install To Do via Sideloading, as per the How to Geek instructions. I wasn't sure what the Store web link was, but just doing a Google search for To Do and copying the link there gave it to me (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/microsoft-to-do-lists-tasks-reminders/9nblggh5r558).
Once I plugged that link in at https://store.rg-adguard.net/, it gave me a long list of apps to install. I chose the one called "Microsoft.Todos_2.42.41091.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle". Double-clicked it and clicked Install. It then installed a few prerequisites and then To Do.
Works great!
