However, that advice is rapidly fading as an option, as Microsoft is planning to end those stores early next year. The support article had suggested that such organizations could use the Microsoft Store for Business or Education to distribute the app to users. People with managed devices sometimes weren't able to download the new Quick Assist app from the Microsoft Store because they lacked organizational permissions, a Microsoft support article acknowledged. Microsoft's announcement explained that some users couldn't install Quick Assist after Microsoft switched it from being an embedded-app Windows capability into an application that's just downloadable from the Microsoft Store. All that's needed to use Quick Assist is an Internet connection and a Microsoft account for the persons providing the assistance, according to this Microsoft document description.

Quick Assist uses the Remote Desktop Protocol to let one PC user view and/or take control over another PC user's machine. Quick Assist lets two PC users provide remote help on computer issues. That's the gist of a Tuesday Microsoft Quick Assist announcement. Microsoft's Quick Assist app will be getting enhanced by Windows quality updates, starting this month and the next, and these updates may overcome issues associated with its switch to being a Windows Store app.
