- If you've been using the *[ApplicationManagement/RequirePrivateStoreOnly](/microsoft-store/manage-access-to-private-store)* MDM policy, the *Only display the private store within the Microsoft Store* app group policy, or setting the *RemoveWindowsStore* DWORD value in the registry to 1 to block local or domain joined devices from accessing the Store, remember that these settings are for disabling the Store application.

- If you'd like to specifically block installations from the Microsoft Store, including installations from the Microsoft Store Web Installer, use the [DisableStoreOriginatedApps policy](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-applicationmanagement#disablestoreoriginatedapps).

Blocking this will not have any impact on the Microsoft Store app on Windows or already installed apps. These will continue to operate, unless combined with the above policies.
