Where is Google Home app for Surface Pro 9?

I am unable to locate the Google Home app for my Surface Pro 9 in the Microsoft store. I have seen previous threads on the help site indicating that the app is android and not designed for Windows, but it is available on iOS so I don't think its a compatability issue. It appears to be a deliberate attempt by Microsoft to block Google products, which would, in my uniformed oppinion, represent unfair trade practices harmful to consumers. We know Microsoft would never engage in monopolistic behavior so I must be mistaken and I'm sure its just an oversight. Please indicate when this app (not web-based workaround) will be available in the Microsoft store.

    I understand that you are looking for the Google Home app for your Surface Pro 9, but I'm sorry to inform you that the Google Home app is not available in the Microsoft Store. The Google Home app is designed for Android and iOS devices, and it is not compatible with Windows devices.

    As an alternative, you can access the Google Home app through a web browser on your Surface Pro 9. Simply go to the Google Home website and sign in with your Google account to access your devices and settings.

    I hope this information helps. Let me know if you have any other questions related to Microsoft products.

    Microsoft does not make every piece of software for Windows.

    Google does not like to make software for Windows beyond Chrome and little else. Google has chosen to not make a Home app for Windows. You would need to contact Google but I can guarantee you they will never make a Windows version of the Google Home app. Your only option on Windows is the website at home.google.com.
