      shit drives me bonkers. I tried to get the Dolby Atmos plugin. Has to be done on the store, which HAS to be signed into windows. No i dont want any of that. let me buy it from your site and redeem a code or something. I dont want to sign into the store. at all.

      I just went with the alternative. Installing the logitech control software, restricting its internet access but using its dolby DTS features.

        Is that a paid app?

        Because as dumb as the Windows Store is, you can still download and install anything provided it’s a free app without a Microsoft account still. I just tried it and it still works, although I didn’t try an exhaustive list of apps. If it gives you a pop up nagging about a Microsoft account, just cancel out of the log in pop up and the app will still download and install.

          It is. You are allowed to download it as it has a trial. But when it’s time to pay the only way is through a logged in account on the Microsoft store.
