We need more customization options for branding. We cannot choose a white background color as all text is white. We need greater control of options to choose both the positive and negative color of text and color of the highlight bars.

Allow the text to be customized for the hard-coded "critical software" message from software center. Many things are now customizable; but this text is still hard coded for customers.

Software Center Command Line Switch Addition

It is not currently possible to choose between the All and Upcoming views on the Installation status page in Software Center via command line.

We would love to have a programmatic call the Upcoming view for end users on their maintenance window day. This way, we can (forcibly but kindly) inform people of what's about to happen to their device(s).

This is what it might look like: "C:\WINDOWS\CCM\ClientUX\SCClient.exe" softwarecenter:Page=InstallationStatus FilterType=0 SortType=6 View=Upcoming" <-- The "View" switch is the addition.

P.S. Long live Banco de Gaia!

Right now, the reboot behavior on clients is very inconsistent.
If you run a available deployment or a required deployment which hasn´t started over the SW-Center, no reboot is forced. The user will just get a reminder to reboot (Upper Picture).

If a required deployment runs automatically, a reboot will be forced and the timer from client settings starts to run (Lower Picture).

This behavior is very inconsistent and should get changed.
If the admin decides that a reboot is required, it should always be forced.
Or better, make this an option to the deployment of Apps, Updates etc.

We use our Software Center for a LOT of apps for general user use. The general complaint I have received lately is that there are so many apps users don't know what is optional and what is recommended for our domain. I am recommending the option or change to include some of the localized description OR at the very least show the User categories for each application in all the view modes for Software Center to help users determine if they are optional or recommended software. All views already show publisher and version.

During a training session I misread a Lab on Software Updates. I ran the Synchronization and proceeded to download 10k+ software updates because I did not choose the specific updates I needed for the lab correctly. I had to continue to another lab while I waited for the Synchronization to complete. This is entirely my fault, but my instructor thought this would be a good idea to see if it would be possible to stop a running synchronization of Software Updates.

Make the uninstall and repair application in software center work with more than 1 deployment type. Because now the uninstall only works if 1 deploymenttype is present in the application.

The repair option only repairs the first deployment type and then stops, would be beteer that it repairs all deployment types that are in an application or the option to do so.

Now that you have the framework for customizing, can you expand for changing the fonts chosen and the colors when selected and not selected? Out logo would be best on a white banner but then you cant see the selections when you click on each option since the select bar is white and the font is white.

It would be nice to have the option to tile like in the Company Portal (categories) in the Software Center (filters). This would be of great benefit for multidisciplinary companies or even to segregate departments, giving a much better end user experience.
I'm not sure there's much use in the SC filter at present, as it defaults to load all, hence nobody would really use the dropdown to select a filtered subset. Example attached.

In the Operating Systems Tab, please add the "Link" ability to a Task Sequence. We'd like to send communications, or create Toast Notifications that can directly launch the Software Center to a specific Task Sequence Deployment.

Creating an online/offline install for an application from Wsfb should add the icon from the store to the application in SCCM / Software Center.

A custom icon can be added but unlike standard apps there is no way to extract the icon from the application.

Integrating the store icons would go a long way to polishing the end result for users.

In older versions of SCCM, you could sort on "Status", "Publisher" and "Name" in the Updates node of Software Center.

This was very helpful when installing updates - being able to sort on status in particular ("pending verification", "restart pending", "installing", etc.)

Please bring this functionality back.

With the application model, I can right click an application and copy the settings. Under Packages, I cannot copy a package easily.

Please can we display the software center share url in the deployment properties of the deployment. This way if we would like to share the URL of a deployment to a user which us as the admins are not part of

We can go to the deployment tab and copy and paste the share url to the user with out having to add our computers to the deployment collection, update the collection, update policy's then get the shared url, then we email the url, then we have to remember to remove our computers from the collection.

(New) Software Center is way too slow with say 100+ software and it loads software in batches of 60. If "Sort by:" is used or another tab is visited then loading begins again. And again in the batches of 60.
Implement some kind of a cache (and maybe poll wmi in the background) to speed things up and make UI usable.

Allow apps to be segregated category wise when we publish apps in Software Center.

In the application catalog we had the option to highlight an app as featured app in the portal. But app catalog has got deprecated and we want it in Software Center.

1) Featured apps
2) Apps sorted per category.

It will be good if MS can add these 2 functionalities for Software Center.

Around 1706/10...

Available applications (user deployed) stopped completing installation if a dependency required a restart.

Users have to go into software center and initiate the application again to continue the installation. Repeat for every dep that requires a restart.

In the 1802 release, the option to hide already installed software was added but only for applications, not packages.
It'd be a good idea to hide already installed packages, in order to keep the software center easier to the end user understand what still need to be installed.
Thanks in advance.
