What's New in Apps Settings on Windows 10 Creators Update?
In general, the Settings management interface on Windows 10 Creators Update sees minimal changes, except for the addition of the Apps section. Features related to Apps have been consolidated here, such as:
- Default Apps

Uninstalling Software on Windows 10 Creators Update
The Apps & Features section remains unchanged for managing applications in Windows 10. Similar to previous Windows versions, you can easily access this section from the Control Panel. Users can also utilize interfaces from older Windows versions by opening the Run window with the Windows + R key combination, then entering the command appwiz.cpl, and pressing Enter.
Windows 10 Will Exclusively Run Applications
A new feature allows you to block apps from outside the Windows Store, similar to MacOS's Gatekeeper, which blocks apps not downloaded from the App Store. Microsoft is gradually steering users towards using exclusive apps to provide various benefits such as security, device uniformity, and management convenience. An undisclosed piece of information is that the upcoming Windows 10 update, called Windows 10 Cloud, will only run exclusive apps downloaded from the Windows Store. Therefore, users may need to bid farewell to Win32 applications.
So, we have explored software management on Windows 10 Creators Update. Overall, there aren't many changes. Microsoft is leaning towards user convenience by improving default app behaviors. However, consider carefully before upgrading to the new update or installing Windows 10 Creators Update on your computer or laptop.
