This is an exciting news for all Stock Rom Windows Phone users who wanted to install Apps from Internet Explorer of the phone. Hats Off to GoodDayToDie Developer who has developed a hack in form of App, XAP Handler, which makes IE, aware of what to do when it encounters a XAP file, extension for Windows Phone Apps. I have question about installing xap files into my Windows phone 10. I want to install xbox enabled games, which were already removed from store and I really want to play them. These games were downloaded form internet. Thanks for reply. Windows 8 Apps Download, Windows Phone Apps, Windows 8 Apps + Games. Download free Windows 8.xap files from apps and games categories.

What you can do is download an APPX file from the Microsoft store. An APPX file is the file extension used by Microsoft Store app packages. Think of it as the Microsoft Store app’s equivalent of an EXE file. It’s fairly easy to download an APPX file from the Microsoft Store and sideload it.
Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile is dying, so also the apps are leaving too. That's why I want to know how to get/extract the apps on my phone (even on PCs) to be kept in either XAP or APPXs packages so I still have these copies of my apps that left the platform.
Installation of universal applications in the.Appx /.AppxBundle format in Windows 10 / 8.1, used to be performed online through the Microsoft Store. Despite Windows allows to install universal apps from APPX files offline (sideload), you can’t directly download the.appx installation file from Windows Store.
