If you think there’s too much unnecessary clutter in the regular version of the Microsoft Store app, there’s now a new way to manage your Microsoft Store apps on your Windows PC. According to a Windows Developer blog post, Microsoft is introducing a command-line interface for the Microsoft Store for devs and power users.

The Microsoft Store Command-Line Interface (or Microsoft Store CLI) eschews the graphical user interface in favor of letting you manage the app store’s functions using simple text commands.

With store browse-apps, you can sort, search, and filter the Store catalog to find the apps you need. With store install , you can install and deploy apps. With store update , you can update an existing app to the latest version. See more with store --help.

Unsurprisingly, the new Microsoft Store CLI is only available on systems that have the Microsoft Store enabled.
