It displays information about the hardware, e.g. whether it supports HDR, VR, or 4K, and includes options to tweak games to improve the game performance or experience.
Intel Graphics Command Center requires a sixth generation Intel Core Platform or newer, and Windows 10 version 1709 or newer.
Leonardo ($39.99)
Leonardo is a drawing & painting application for Windows that is now also available as a Windows Store application.
The application supports digital pens, multi-touch and pen-pressure, and works very well on Surface, Wacom and other Windows tablets.
Some of its features include an infinite canvas, line modes to draw in perspectives, and layer support.
The application is still in beta and lacks some of the features of the desktop app. The missing features will be included in future updates.
