five hundred and ten of a series. Welcome to this week’s roundup of the best apps, games, and extensions released for Windows 10 and 11 on the Microsoft Store and elsewhere in the past seven days.
Windows 11 2022 Update has been out for a while and Microsoft has already confirmed several issues plaguing some users. One of the issues affected gaming performance on Nvidia-powered systems. Nvidia has released an updated driver that addresses these performance issues.
