    Hi,

    Sorry for the delayed reply.

    Microsoft only offers an App locker service for Enterprise and Education versions. However, you can check other third party software that does the same thing in this link:

    Hi AdityaChaudhari, thank you for posting. I am Paulo, an Independent Advisor.

    If you want to prevent unauthorized purchases from your Microsoft Store, you can check these steps:

    1. Open Microsoft Store , select More in the upper right corner of your screen, and then choose Settings.
    2. Under Purchase sign-in, turn off I want to buy without a password, for faster checkout.
    3. Repeat these steps for each device you share.

    You can also check Microsoft Authenticator app to protect your apps from unauthorized sign in.

    I hope this helps with your concern.
