Microsoft’s Windows Store is slowly growing and the relevant Windows apps are finally showing up in the Store. Back in 2016, Microsoft allowed developers to distribute their Windows desktop apps to people through Windows Store.
Microsoft announced Project Centennial to help developers easily port their old legacy Windows apps to the Microsoft Store. Popular apps like Paint.NET and WPS Office are already available in the Windows 10’s app store.
NVIDIA recently published NVIDIA Control Panel app in the Microsoft Store (Windows Store). NVIDIA Control Panel Microsoft Store edition crashes on launch but it appears to be working on some system.
“Featuring display management, application, and gaming-specific features, the NVIDIA Control Panel ensures the best overall experience using NVIDIA graphics,” the store description reads.
The users on Twitter said the apps showed a message saying “supported NVIDIA Driver is not installed on your system”.
As per the screenshots posted in the Microsoft Store, NVIDIA Control Panel doesn’t appear to be a native UWP app. The company has used Microsoft’s Desktop Bridge solution to bring their Win32 app to Microsoft Store.
You will need a supported system to use this application as it doesn’t work on all devices. You can download the app from here.

What's the actual point? This is installed with the driver anyway, and unless Nvidia are planning to release the driver in the Store as well, there's no need for this.
This is how it is going to be for the new UWD/DCH driver standard going forward. Finally some standardization. Thank you Microsoft!
