Limitations of Microsoft Store version


Even though the Store version is exactly the same code, the Store version of OneCommander has some limitations compared to the standalone versions because it runs under some Microsoft Store / packaged app constraints


  • Operations on files in AppData and some system folders is limited for Store apps. See info on Microsoft's website
  • Per-operation elevation is not permitted - example: copying into a folder without access will show UAC prompt but will fail, so elevating the OneCommander itself is the only way (Ctrl+Shift+F12) but not recommended
  • There might be additional security permissions limitations due to permission bugs in packaged apps (a few users have reported that opening Office files would fail with permissions error)
  • Always one or two versions behind the standalone versions due to time it takes to pass Store certification and potential delay for managing critical updates
  • Microsoft account is required to purchase Pro license for the Microsoft Store version
  • Reported issues with setting/changing default file associations
  • No volume licensing option or company licenses
