Every one of my Windows 11 PCs has 23H2 with the newest updates. But I see Dev Home on some computers, not others. What is this program and do I need it installed? Is anyone here having a link to it in the Microsoft Store for the UK?

Are you on Insiders? Dev Home for Windows Developers. Dev Home is a new center in the windows system that lets you track your work and coding tasks with custom widgets, set up your dev environment, connect to your developer accounts and tools like GitHub, and install apps and packages all in one place. learn.microsoft.com I don't think you need it. this shows how to remove it - https://www.elevenforum.com/t/uninstall-...-11.18397/

It seems I have this too. It came from the Microsoft store. I don't know why everyone is getting it. Looks like something that should be an extra, not on every Win 11 PC - https://www.windowscentral.com/soft...d-...023-update

Yeah, that sounds weird to me, right? Two of my computers have this thing while the others do not.

They might just do it slowly if you try to run the Windows Store on a computer that doesn't have it already. Clicking the library tab on the side can pull some updates, but you probably don't need them unless you're a programmer.
