Store UWP — 9NSGM705MQWC
The listing you asked us to cite: apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nsgm705mqwc. It is the Store-packaged suite (PDF, docs, sheets, slides). Install requires elevated permissions. Updates ride the Store. Sandboxing can block some classic desktop integrations (drivers, certain preview handlers, some COM add-ins).
Store EXE flavor
Kingsoft also lists an EXE-oriented Store product (XP8M1ZJCZ99QJW) described as “the EXE version of WPS Office.” If you need classic installer behavior but want Store discovery, that is the one to read carefully before you click.
wps.com EXE
This is what most “download WPS for Windows” tutorials mean. Wizard, language picker, one-click install, then a Win32-style client with full file-association machinery (for better or worse).
Pick
| Need | Choose |
|---|---|
| Locked-down PC, Store-only policy | UWP listing |
| Maximum features, same as YouTube tutorials | wps.com EXE |
| Easy updates, still Win32-ish | Read the EXE Store listing, or website + its updater |
Do not install both and then wonder why two WPS icons fight over .docx.
Work PCs that only allow Store
IT will not bless wps.com EXE. Use 9NSGM705MQWC. Document which features you will not get. Do not then install the website EXE “just for PDF” on the same profile unless you like two updaters and two icons.
Offline / air-gapped
Store needs Store. The website installer can be cached on a USB from a networked machine — still only the official file, still hash/publisher checked. Air-gapped labs should keep the cached EXE with the image.
Repair differs
UWP repair is Store → WPS → Repair/Reset. EXE repair is Diagnose and Repair plus overlay install. Mixing advice from a YouTube EXE tutorial onto a Store install is how people “reinstall” the wrong package.
If you already installed both
Uninstall one. Reboot. Reset defaults. Open a DOCX and see which icon appears on the taskbar. If both remain, you will get “feature disappeared” tickets forever. Uninstall notes.
