Hello Chandra Reddy,

Since you want this to apply to everyone on the machine including any new accounts, the most reliable route is the machine-wide registry policy under HKLM rather than a per-user setting. Because it lives under the local machine hive, it also covers accounts created later, whether local or domain.

  • Press Win + R, type regedit, press Enter.
  • Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore (if the WindowsStore key isn't there, create it).
  • Create a new DWORD(32-bit) value named RemoveWindowsStore and set it to 1.
  • Restart the PC.

After that, anyone opening the Store should get a "Microsoft Store isn't available on this PC. Contact your system administrator" message.
