Windows UI guidelines require to display the User Account Control (UAC) shield icon on buttons, which execute an operation, which needs elevated access rights. Microsoft Store allows MSI installers, that requires this according to this documentation. Therefore Microsoft Store must show the Account Control (UAC) shield icon for apps, that require elevated user rights. It's not documented how to achieve this?
