The Kindle desktop app is now live on the Microsoft Store. It uses the modern MSIX format, which enables cleaner installs but forces automatic background updates by Windows. For reliable Kindle book backups, download and save the current working MSIX version locally, then disable auto-updates. This improves stability and compatibility. Here’s how:
1. How to Download the Latest Amazon Kindle App from Microsoft Store
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p8jq0jjstll is the official Microsoft Store listing for the Amazon Kindle reading app for Windows. It allows users to download and install the Kindle application on their PC. Click the Download button to get the Amazon Kindle Installer.exe, the double click it to install it.
1. The Kindle MSIX app is not available for Windows 10. Please upgrade to Windows 11.
2. If you don't need the older Kindle app or don't want to disable automatic updates, you can download the latest Kindle app directly from the official Microsoft Store page.
2. How to Back Up the Kindle MSIX Package to Prevent Automatic Updates
Because the Microsoft Store doesn't natively expose older versions or raw installation files, we will use a trusted online link parser - store.rg-adguard.net to extract direct download links for original installation packages from the Microsoft Store.
Step 1Parse the URL on RG-Adguard
Go to store.rg-adguard.net. Paste the Kindle URL: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p8jq0jjstll into the main text box. Ensure the dropdown is set to URL (link) and the ring selection is set to Retail, then click the checkmark button.
Step 2Locate the correct MSIX package
Scroll down through the generated list. Look for a file ended with .msixbundle.
Step 3Download the MSIX package
Right-click the link and choose Save link as.
Note: If your browser blocks the download because it is an executable type, click "Keep" or "Download Anyway". The link points directly back to Microsoft's official delivery.mp.microsoft.com server. Or you can try Edge browser to download it.
Step 4Install the MSIX package
Double-click the .msixbundle file to install it. If a version is already installed, click Reinstall to proceed.
2. How to Disable Automatic Kindle MSIX App Updates
Windows handles universal app updates globally. To keep your specific Kindle version frozen, you need to turn off automatic Store updates.
1. Press Win + R, type gpedit.msc, and hit OK.
2. Navigate on the Left Pane to: "Computer Configuration" > "Administrative Templates" > "Windows Component" > Scroll down and find "Store" > Double click on "Turn off Automatic Download and Install of updates".
3. Then select "Enable". Click "Apply" and then "OK".
