 ## 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:
+We recommend customers use the [Private app repository, Windows Package Manager, and Company Portal app](/windows/application-management/private-app-repository-mdm-company-portal-windows-11) to provide a private app repository within their organization.
-
-- 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)

This capability is the reason behind the exceptional performance of PCI devices, but it also makes them susceptible to *drive-by DMA attacks*.
 
 Drive-by DMA attacks are attacks that occur while the owner of the system isn't present and usually take just a few minutes, with simple-to-moderate attacking tools (affordable, off-the-shelf hardware and software), that don't require the disassembly of the device. For example, attackers can plug in a USB-like device while the device owner is on a break, and walk away with all the secrets on the machine, or inject a malware that allows them to have full control over the device remotely while bypassing the lock screen.

 ### How can I check if a certain driver supports DMA-remapping?
 
-Not all devices and drivers support DMA-remapping. To check if a specific driver is opted into DMA-remapping, check the values corresponding to the DMA Remapping Policy property in the Details tab of a device in Device Manager*. A value of **0** or **1** means that the device driver doesn't support DMA-remapping. A value of **2** means that the device driver supports DMA-remapping. If the property isn't available, then the device driver doesn't support DMA-remapping.
