Rob Tidrow, Jim Boyce, Jeffrey R. Shapiro · 2017
This chapter explores how to access the Windows Store, how to navigate it, how to install apps, how to look for and install app updates, and how to remove apps. The Windows Store is a new feature of Windows 8 and Windows 10. It provides an online area where user can download Windows 10 apps for the computer, tablet, or Windows phone. The Windows Store displays apps in categories to help user locate them. Within each category, individual apps are showcased. User can use the Cortana search tool to locate apps in the Windows Store. When you find a target app, you must install an app before you can use it on the computer or tablet. Periodically, app developers provide an update that enhances an app by adding features or improving performance. If updates are available, the Store tile on the Windows Start screen shows a number corresponding to the number of updates available.
