## Latest updates for Store for Business and Education
**May 2023**
**January 2024**
**Removal of Microsoft Store for Business tab from Microsoft Store app on Windows 10 PCs**
**Removal of private store capability from Microsoft Store for Business and Education**
The Microsoft Store for Business tab was removed from the Microsoft Store app on Windows 10. The Microsoft Store for Business tab is still available on HoloLens devices.
The private store tab and associated functionality was removed from the Microsoft Store for Business and Education portal. This includes the ability to add apps to private groups and to download and install apps from the private store.
Users on Windows 10 PCs can no longer do the following tasks:
- see Line of Business (LOB) products listed in the Microsoft Store for Business tab
- acquire or install [online apps](/mem/configmgr/apps/deploy-use/manage-apps-from-the-windows-store-for-business#online-and-offline-apps)
- assign licenses for existing [online apps](/mem/configmgr/apps/deploy-use/manage-apps-from-the-windows-store-for-business#online-and-offline-apps) using the Store for Business portal or Store for Business app
[Offline app](/mem/configmgr/apps/deploy-use/manage-apps-from-the-windows-store-for-business#online-and-offline-apps) distribution and licensing scenarios aren't impacted by this change.
We recommend that you add your apps through the new Microsoft Store app experience in Intune. If an app isn’t available in the Microsoft Store, you must retrieve an app package from the vendor and install it as an LOB app or Win32 app. For instructions, read the following articles:
- [Add Microsoft Store apps to Microsoft Intune](/mem/intune/apps/store-apps-microsoft)
- [Add a Windows line-of-business app to Microsoft Intune](/mem/intune/apps/lob-apps-windows)
- [Add, assign, and monitor a Win32 app in Microsoft Intune](/mem/intune/apps/apps-win32-add)

# Delivery Optimization client-service communication explained
# Delivery Optimization workflow, privacy, security, and endpoints
Delivery Optimization is a cloud-managed solution that uses peer-to-peer (P2P) and local caching to deliver software updates and apps to Windows clients across your network. This article describes details of how Delivery Optimization communicates with the server when content is requested to download and contains information about privacy, security, and endpoints.
## How we help keep your data safe
Delivery Optimization can't be used to download or send personal content. Delivery Optimization doesn't access personal files or folders, and it doesn't change any files on the device.
Delivery Optimization downloads the same updates and apps that you would get through [Windows Update](../update/windows-update-security.md), Microsoft Store apps, and other Microsoft updates using the same security measures. To make sure you're getting authentic updates, Delivery Optimization gets information securely from Microsoft to check the authenticity of each part of an update or app that it downloads from other PCs. The authenticity of the downloads is checked again before installing it. <!--8658744-->
Delivery Optimization is a cloud-managed solution that uses peer-to-peer (P2P) and local caching to deliver software updates and apps to Windows clients across your network. This article describes details of how Delivery Optimization communicates with the server when content is requested to download.
## Download request workflow
This workflow allows Delivery Optimization to securely and efficiently deliver requested content to the calling device. Delivery Optimization uses content metadata to verify the content and to determine all available locations to pull content from.
This workflow allows Delivery Optimization to securely and efficiently deliver requested content to the calling device and explains client-service communication. Delivery Optimization uses content metadata to verify the content and to determine all available locations to pull content from.
1. When a download starts, the Delivery Optimization client attempts to get its content metadata. This content metadata is a hash file containing the SHA-256 block-level hashes of each piece in the file (typically one piece = 1 MB).
2. The authenticity of the content metadata file itself is verified prior to any content being downloaded using a hash that is obtained via an SSL channel from the Delivery Optimization service. The same channel is used to ensure the content is curated and authorized to use peer-to-peer.
3. When Delivery Optimization pulls a certain piece of the hash from another peer, it verifies the hash against the known hash in the content metadata file.
4. If a peer provides an invalid piece, that piece is discarded. When a peer sends multiple bad pieces, it's banned and will no longer be used as a source by the Delivery Optimization client performing the download.
5. If Delivery Optimization is unable to obtain the content metadata file, or if the verification of the hash file itself fails, the download will fall back to "simple mode”. Simple mode will only pull content from the HTTP source and peer-to-peer won't be allowed.
5. If Delivery Optimization is unable to obtain the content metadata file, or if the verification of the hash file itself fails, the download will fall back to simple mode. Simple mode will only pull content from the HTTP source and peer-to-peer won't be allowed.
6. Once downloading is complete, Delivery Optimization uses all retrieved pieces of the content to put the file together. At that point, the Delivery Optimization caller (for example, Windows Update) checks the entire file to verify the signature prior to installing it.

This article lists different endpoints that are available on a clean installation of Windows 10, version 1709 and later.
Details about the different ways to control traffic to these endpoints are covered in [Manage connections from Windows operating system components to Microsoft services](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md).
Where applicable, each endpoint covered in this topic includes a link to the specific details on how to control that traffic.
Where applicable, each endpoint covered in this article includes a link to the specific details on how to control that traffic.
The following methodology was used to derive these network endpoints:
1. Set up the latest version of Windows 10 on a test virtual machine using the default settings.
2. Leave the device(s) running idle for a week ("idle" means a user is not interacting with the system/device).

3. Use globally accepted network protocol analyzer/capturing tools and log all background egress traffic.
4. Compile reports on traffic going to public IP addresses.
5. The test virtual machine(s) was logged into using a local account, and was not joined to a domain or Azure Active Directory.

Details about the different ways to control traffic to these endpoints are covered in [Manage connections from Windows operating system components to Microsoft services](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md).
Where applicable, each endpoint covered in this topic includes a link to the specific details on how to control that traffic.
Where applicable, each endpoint covered in this article includes a link to the specific details on how to control that traffic.
The following methodology was used to derive these network endpoints:
1. Set up the latest version of Windows 10 on a test virtual machine using the default settings.
2. Leave the device(s) running idle for a week ("idle" means a user is not interacting with the system/device).
2. Leave the device(s) running idle for a week ("idle" means a user isn't interacting with the system/device).
3. Use globally accepted network protocol analyzer/capturing tools and log all background egress traffic.
4. Compile reports on traffic going to public IP addresses.
5. The test virtual machine(s) was logged into using a local account, and was not joined to a domain or Azure Active Directory.
5. The test virtual machine(s) was logged into using a local account, and wasn't joined to a domain or Azure Active Directory.
6. All traffic was captured in our lab using an IPV4 network. Therefore, no IPV6 traffic is reported here.
7. These tests were conducted in an approved Microsoft lab. It's possible your results may be different.
8. These tests were conducted for one week, but if you capture traffic for longer you may have different results.

Details about the different ways to control traffic to these endpoints are covered in [Manage connections from Windows operating system components to Microsoft services](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md).
Where applicable, each endpoint covered in this topic includes a link to the specific details on how to control that traffic.
Where applicable, each endpoint covered in this article includes a link to the specific details on how to control that traffic.
The following methodology was used to derive these network endpoints:
1. Set up the latest version of Windows 10 on a test virtual machine using the default settings.
2. Leave the device(s) running idle for a week ("idle" means a user is not interacting with the system/device).
2. Leave the device(s) running idle for a week ("idle" means a user isn't interacting with the system/device).
3. Use globally accepted network protocol analyzer/capturing tools and log all background egress traffic.
4. Compile reports on traffic going to public IP addresses.
5. The test virtual machine(s) was logged into using a local account, and was not joined to a domain or Azure Active Directory.
5. The test virtual machine(s) was logged into using a local account, and wasn't joined to a domain or Azure Active Directory.
6. All traffic was captured in our lab using an IPV4 network. Therefore, no IPV6 traffic is reported here.
7. These tests were conducted in an approved Microsoft lab. It's possible your results may be different.
8. These tests were conducted for one week, but if you capture traffic for longer you may have different results.

Details about the different ways to control traffic to these endpoints are covered in [Manage connections from Windows operating system components to Microsoft services](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md).
Where applicable, each endpoint covered in this topic includes a link to the specific details on how to control that traffic.
Where applicable, each endpoint covered in this article includes a link to the specific details on how to control that traffic.
The following methodology was used to derive these network endpoints:
1. Set up the latest version of Windows 10 on a test virtual machine using the default settings.
2. Leave the device(s) running idle for a week ("idle" means a user is not interacting with the system/device).
2. Leave the device(s) running idle for a week ("idle" means a user isn't interacting with the system/device).
3. Use globally accepted network protocol analyzer/capturing tools and log all background egress traffic.
4. Compile reports on traffic going to public IP addresses.
5. The test virtual machine(s) was logged into using a local account, and was not joined to a domain or Azure Active Directory.
5. The test virtual machine(s) was logged into using a local account, and wasn't joined to a domain or Azure Active Directory.
6. All traffic was captured in our lab using an IPV4 network. Therefore, no IPV6 traffic is reported here.
7. These tests were conducted in an approved Microsoft lab. It's possible your results may be different.
8. These tests were conducted for one week, but if you capture traffic for longer you may have different results.
