Frequent updates to "DirectX Runtime" and "Visual C++" from the Microsoft Store

I believe MS are moving some updates for some products to the store. These used to be updated via windows updates optional components. I’m not sure what the drive is, but on the face of it, it looks like components that aren’t part of the core OS are being converted to UWP (Universal Windows Platform) packages, and these are how the windows store updates and installs programs / apps. Increasingly we will see all software delivered this way.
