Not entirely. As a user, I rather have a limited version that auto updates itself than a version that I have to manually track and install updates for. The ease of just leave it there and it will pull some kind of latest version is definitely something that I care for, especially since I have to maintain software on four desktops and two laptops. I know some other programs that check for updates when the user executes them, but even that model is a pain point itself since from the user's end we are executing an application so it would do something for us, not to get interrupted by maintenance prompts and options to do maintenance work.

Win10M has no future because MS announced no more developing it. I see no reason to support Win10M, we supported it in early UWP versions but currently Kodi requires os version which is not available on mobile devices (even on MS Lumia 950 XL)

How we can fix limitation of the UWP subsystem? Kodi UPW is limited not because we want this but because UWP subsystem has a lot of limitations. an UWP app doesn't even have access to the SMB network. we had to develop addon to return SMB support to Kodi.UWP

2. no, it's exactly the same exe but installed via the store.
3. we have no plans to distribute uwp version to destop PC.
4. there are two versions in the store, destop bridge version for PCs and UWP for xbox.

Can I install the store version on top of the already installed exe version, or do I need to uninstall the exe version first?It uses this folder once on first start and makes shadow copy of it to another location. We can't control this, this "feature" of desktop bridge. You can install both, but can't launch both at the same time.

(2019-02-04, 10:46)afedchin Wrote: the addon is available for UWP version only.Got it. That explains why it's not showing up. After various other tests with adding/changing the way I'm importing my library I am now at an impasse in which heading to my movies crashes Kodi instantly. The same issue I get when updating/scanning my library.
