Global Protect in Microsoft Store Outdated

Hello All,

I had a customer reach out to me about when the Microsoft Store would have a newer version of GP . Currently the version available is 5.2.8-5. Does anyone know when version 6 would be available? Thank you in advance.

@bdaniels,

Any particular reason that you're using the UWP application? With the native GlobalProtect client supporting ARM on Windows now the reasons to use UWP is pretty small and has plenty of drawbacks (at least to me).

I don't have any insider information on this, but I wouldn't be shocked if you see PAN stop supporting the UWP agent. There's just not a whole lot of reason to keep it around and updated at this point.

Hi @BPry Not sure exactly why they are using the UWP application as the account was just moved to me. I will inquire to why. Appreciate the response!
