Windows 11 arrives on October 5, bringing at the same time many structural changes around the operating system. One of them concerns the Microsoft Store, the official store of Microsoft which now opens to applications other than UWP applications ( Universal Windows Platform ). Enough to allow new things like… Full HD streaming on Disney + .
A dedicated application to come
Microsoft had already teased it by showing an image of its Store, it is now clearly announced in a trailer for the Surface Laptop Studio : Disney + is coming October 5 to the Windows Microsoft Store. It will therefore be possible to access the SVoD service from a PC without going through a browser and that is excellent news.
Why will you ask? Well, because Chromium browsers do not allow you to take advantage of certain services to their full capacity. This is the case for example of Disney +, but also of Netflix, limited to 720p from Chrome (or other browsers using the same engine, although some like Microsoft Edge are compatible with PlayReady, thus allowing playback in very high definition. ).
A question of DRM
Behind this problem lies a question of copyright and DRM Widevine or PlayReady. Widevine and PlayReady are digital rights management tools that prevent a user from copying content streamed online. We find them in particular on Netflix, Disney, but also HBO or Prime Video.
Thus, to avoid copies of works, this tool limits the video quality of video streams according to several levels more or less strict. We can thus find ourselves watching streams in 480p, 720p or maximum definition depending on the level used, but Chromium does not allow to exploit the level of security so sought after. The problem has also happened on

With a dedicated application, developers can integrate different security systems allowing ” prevent copying of digital works. There is then no need to limit the definition. This is the case for Netflix , including the Windows application allows editing in 1080p (and even in 4K by having PlayReady managed by the graphics card herself). Note that some extensions like
Netflix 1080p allow you to blast limitation.
Thus, we can expect that the Disney + application coming to the Windows Store will be freed from this constraint, thus finally offering a way to enjoy the service in very good quality on PC.
