There’s even a great third-party web interface you can use with it. The package manager has been growing steadily over the past year, and now includes Discord, Google Chrome, Firefox, and many other popular apps. Microsoft’s Windows Package Manager quickly became better than the Windows store in less than 24 hours, offering apps like Zoom and WinRAR that were missing from the main store. Now any app can be part of the store, a move that aligns with the Windows Package Manager Microsoft released last year. Microsoft previously restricted developers to its Universal Windows Apps, before then allowing some desktop apps that were packaged to use its store for updates. The Microsoft Store is changing on Windows 11, and eventually Windows 10, to include any traditional desktop apps. These early additions, during a beta period for Windows 11, are a promising start. OBS Studio, Zoom, Canva, WinZip, and Adobe Acrobat Reader have all made their way to the Microsoft Store in the past week, alongside Microsoft Edge browser extensions.
In just the past week alone, some popular apps have started to appear in the Microsoft Store on Windows 11, making it more useful than before. While there’s a UI overhaul and some speed improvements, the key change is allowing more apps into the store. I update at least one app a day in this or similar ways, and none of them vanish as a result from Spotlight only Mathematica.Microsoft’s dysfunctional app store for Windows, the Microsoft Store, is finally improving under Windows 11. This is indeed unique to Mathematica (in my experience). I can reproduce this (for Mathematica only) by simply updating (download, open the DMG, drag the new version to the Applications folder, replace). Moreover, it extends to the Finder itself. Note that this problem is unique to Mathematica. Why would - indeed how could - a single lone application behave differently in this regard? How can an application hide itself in this way from Spotlight?Īnd most importantly: what can I do to restore this standard piece of functionality? While the string is recognized (presumably from my history) the application is not suggested, and the only way to launch it is directly from the Finder or some other awkward workaround. This works for every app except one: Mathematica: When I enter a string that matches part of the name of an application on Mac, the OS X Spotlight search feature will suggest apps for me to launch.
