New Microsoft Edge extensions
There is certainly no shortage of password managers for Microsoft Edge. AgileBits Inc. released the 1Password extension for the browser.

New Windows apps and games
Modern Glance brings back Lumia Glance. It works pretty much like a screensaver on Windows 10. You may use the current desktop image, Bing image of the day, your picture file library or, if you buy an upgrade, video files as the source.
It features several background effects and options to adjust other parameters like the opacity of the background or the position of date and time.
MyWay is an application for Subway sandwich lovers. You may use the application to create sandwich templates to speed up the ordering process and get the order right all the time.
May be useful for getting larger orders right as well. The app lists the Sub of the Day, and supports the creation of multiple sandwich templates.
It displays the prices of the sandwich, and supports the saving and sharing of templates.

Notebook Library is a note taking application for Windows 10. It is a simple app that supports keyboard and voice note taking, gestures and continuum support, a dark theme, and other goodies.
It features support for multiple notebooks, filtering, a built-in search, and options to display notes in two different view modes.
