While there are a few problems with the OS, however, there are a lot of newer UI elements and news that make opting for the system worthy. The Redmond technology giant is consciously working toward improving the user experience for all of the users. However, the real problem arises when it comes to the Windows Store. While many might recommend users not to make use of the operating system, the real danger shows up when it comes to choosing games from Microsoft’s very own collection. There are a lot of gaming titles on the Microsoft Store that is reportedly not worth missing. Take, for example, Forza Horizon 3 and Gears Of War 4 that require users to opt for Windows Store to access them.

Therefore, users are urging Microsoft to work on the problems that the store is causing.
The system not just features the self-own problems that the applications end up performing. However, the problem takes place as far as the entire Windows Store is concerned. According to numerous reports, the Redmond technology giant has reportedly attempted to remove the need for users to decide where to place the applications. The latest system ends up suiting numerous users, who end up caring about ‘c: Program Files app’ locations.

There have been problems with the way Microsoft has put the proposal across with regard the store. They mostly surrounded the desire to create “modern” apps that were horrible to use. “Facebook, Twitter, etc. all have apps that are painful to use and don’t suit a high-end desktop or laptop computer. They’re mobile apps by design. But these apps are less troublesome in general. It tends to be the more traditional Windows apps, wrapped in this new store that seem to cause the problems,” notes an online report.
