Classic Vlc Win32 App Is Now Available On The Microsoft Store

VideoLAN, the non-profit organization behind the popular VLC media player, has now brought the Win32 version of VLC Player to Microsoft Store. First spotted by Windows Central, interested users running Windows 11 can access the VLC player from the revamped MS Store right now.

You might recall that a version of VLC already exists on Microsoft Store. And you are right, it does. However, the Microsoft Store version of VLC that has been around so far was the UWP app. Compared to the classic VLC player, the UWP port of the player lacked many features, including the ability to play DVDs or Blurays.

VLC is the latest Win32 app to make its way to Microsoft Store. Over the past few weeks, several popular apps, including WinZip, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, and even Microsoft’s own Edge browser, have made their way to the Microsoft Store. With the upcoming Android support in Microsoft Store and these useful app listings, Microsoft is finally making Store something Windows users would want to use.
