In this week’s roundup of noteworthy applications, games, and extensions for Windows 10 and 11, we delve into the latest offerings from the Microsoft Store and beyond. This edition highlights both new releases and significant updates that have emerged over the past week.
New Releases and Updates
This week, Microsoft introduced Bing Wallpaper to the Microsoft Store. However, it has not made our recommended list due to the inclusion of numerous potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). These features include auto-installation of additional software, options to decode cookies in non-Microsoft browsers, and prompts encouraging users to set Bing as their default search engine and homepage. As an alternative, we have curated a selection of apps below that may better suit your needs.
As always, if you believe there’s an app or game that deserves recognition and was released this week, please share your thoughts in the comments or reach out via email.
Discounts This Week
Here’s a curated list of some of the best deals currently available. Be sure to explore the Store for a comprehensive view of all ongoing offers. Note that some discounts extend beyond a single week, and only new apps and games are highlighted here. For previous offers that may still be active, refer to last week’s post in this series.
New or Notably Improved Windows Apps
Beeskie – This beta Windows app caters to Bluesky users, providing a dedicated platform for those who prefer a standalone application for their social networking needs.
Bloatynosy Nue – Developed by the prolific Belim, this open-source app is a revamped version of its predecessor. It focuses on enhancing privacy on Windows by modifying system settings and uninstalling pre-installed applications in the latest Windows 11 iterations.
Last Wallpaper – This open-source application automatically downloads and showcases Bing’s wallpaper of the day on your Windows desktop. It also supports various other sources, including Copernicus, NASA, and Wikipedia. While adding these sources requires some technical know-how—specifically, editing a JSON file—the app operates seamlessly once configured.
