    Delay to Microsoft Store release of MSIX installer (1Password for Windows)

    Hello 1Password Community!

    Last month, we released the new MSIX installer for 1Password for Windows to 1Password.com with plans to release to the Microsoft Store on September 8.

    Due to some issues incurred while publishing the MSIX listing, the listing has not yet been made available in the Microsoft Store. We are working to get the new listing published as soon as possible. Future updates will be provided in this thread.

    Thank you for your patience!

    Check out this page to learn more about the MSIX installer.

Hi everyone, I managed to fix the browser integration with the MSIX version. After looking at the logs, I saw that the browser extension was erroring on finding the path of the application, specifically because the Drive was different:

ERROR 2025-06-05T12:26:10.140+00:00 [1P:op-ipc\src\ipc\windows.rs:436] peer process and app install paths are not the same. peer process path: E:\WindowsApps\Agilebits.1Password_8.10.80.18_x64__gh85et3mt782r\1Password\app\8 install path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Agilebits.1Password_8.10.80.18_x64__gh85et3mt782r\1Password\app\8
ERROR 2025-06-05T12:26:10.140+00:00 [1P:native-messaging\op-browser-support-lib\src\communication_logic.rs:201] Failed to connect to the main app: PipeAuthError(InvalidPeerProcessPathLocation)

This was because I had changed where Windows should install applications by default, and by doing so, Windows creates a symlink in C:Program/Files/WindowsApps/ to the drive we setup.

You can check this setting in "Settings -> System -> Storage -> Where new content is saved". After resetting the location to C: and reinstalling, it's working perfectly.

Hopefully, this helps anyone with the same issue and the 1password team as well.
