Description:
Are you going to offer a version of LibreOffice for Windows 10 S devices?  Since Windows 10 S cannot run anything except programs available through the Microsoft Store, I cannot run the downloaded version of LibreOffice.  A version was available earlier this year, but it is now unavailable.  Or is there a hack or way to allow LibreOffice to run outside of the store?  Please help.  Thanks.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download LibreOffice from website and try to install
2.Microsoft Windows 10 S will not allow any program outside of the store to be installed.
3.Done

Actual Results:
Will not install.

Expected Results:
Allowing complete installation.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

The short answer remain no [1]. But we'll let the ESC chime in on that.

But yes Windows 10 "S mode" now requires that PC applications be registered to and downloaded from the Microsoft Store. There is no "official" TDF support for this, and unlike the Apple Store support Collabora provides, there is no affiliated developer support for a Microsoft Store package.

The full desktop build of LibreOffice will likely never run on the lower end hardware (Qulacom Snapdragon) that will run Windows 10 S edition. But would run in S mode on Windows 10 Pro if posted to the Microsoft Store

Existing offering (for PC hardware by .net) on Microsoft Store [2] seems to be defunct and not well maintained while active.

IHMO => WF using TDF resources, but if one of the affiliated companies wants to take on the responsibility, great!
