    Does Chrome still work? I was reading that only fully validated applications (through the store) would be allowed onto Windows 10 FCUW10.

    I never used Chrome and don't plan to do so anytime soon. Edge gives me all I require from a browser. Edit: All apps on my machine, whether from the Store or Microsoft or not, still work 100%

    Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

      Google Chrome won't be allowed on Windows 10 S | ZDNet[^] is what I was referring too... but I guess that's not the same as Creator Update.

        A very slanted headline. Chrome is "allowed", because Google won't put it in the Store.

          Windows 10 S is not an update to the default Windows 10, but a new 'edition', like Home, Professional and so... The specific of this edition is that it will allow applications from the Store only (hence the S)...

                lol, wondered what the d*** (there you go) S meant, never connected it to the Store. FWIW, it was CP that originally posted this article under The Insider. I just find it interesting, years ago, the claim was "the browser is part of the OS", and MS d*** near got broken up by the feds. Now we're back full circle - MS keeping competitor products out of their store unless they are approved by MS. Should get interesting.

                  I read that they can't put it in the store - all store apps are required to use the default web rendering engine, which would make a store version of Chrome nothing more than a new skin for Edge. :doh: Microsoft Has Effectively Banned Third-Party Browsers From the Windows Store[^]
