Microsoft Store is an online platform developed by Microsoft that allows users to browse, purchase, and download various types of software, applications, games, and other digital content. It's the official distribution platform for apps on Windows operating systems, including Windows 10 and 11, and you should use it.
You should only download software and games from the Microsoft Store as it tests everything for malware and viruses.
Buying games or accessing digital content is easy. All you need is an account.
My top apps from the store include: Mail and Calendar, Microsoft To Do, Monitorian, Lights Off, and Apps Wheel.
Microsoft Store is the best way to download software safely. I love how apps downloaded through the Microsoft store work out of the box. You don't need to choose your OS version or anything else.
One of the most common ways malware finds its way into your PC is from the apps you download from dubious sources. Microsoft Store apps don't have viruses and malware because they all get tested.
The following are some of my top apps you can download from the Microsoft Store.
I love this implementation or an email app. Microsoft Mail and Calendar is a clean and easy to use application featuring calendar and Microsoft To-Do integrations.
If you don't need all the bells and whistles of professional email client apps, I recommend you use this one. It works great with Windows 10 and 11 and can work with multiple email accounts.
What I like about Microsoft To Do is the platform availability and the reliable synchronization. You can use it on any mobile or desktop device.
The mobile app comes with a widget for
Windows has evolved and now provides all the tools you need to manage multiple monitors. There was a time before Windows 7 when we needed extra tools to manage multiple monitors, but not anymore.
I find myself fiddling with the brightness settings of my external monitors and seek to have the same brightness level on all of them. Monitorian can help with that.
Monitorian is a desktop tool to help you adjust the brightness of multiple monitors easily. The user can change the brightness of monitors, including external ones, individually or in unison.
In addition, the user can change the adjustable range of brightness and contrast for each monitor.
The external monitor must be DDC/CI compatible and the function enabled. If the monitor is connected through a converter, docking station, or other device, such a device must also be compatible with DDCI.
* An updated subscription is required to use the app with more than four monitors.
Have you ever faced a situation when you wanted to turn off your screen but didn't want to or could not reach it? Use this app to emulate a turned-off screen!
It is a simple app, and it does what is promises. As someone who sometimes uses lots of monitors, I love it.
Apps Wheel is a software application that enables you to add your software (apps and games) and have access to it from anywhere. Using the shortcut Alt+` (tilde), the wheel shows up, and you can select your software.
It's basically a shortcuts widget. Our colleagues from marketing insisted we mention it as they use it and are very happy with the option.
