New Windows apps and games
FalconX modifies the behavior of the Windows Taskbar. The application centers all icons on the Windows Taskbar automatically and in real time.
The application makes no distinction between pinned icons and open program windows; all icons get centered by it when it runs on the system.
The new and official iCloud application for Windows 10 brings all files hosted on the iCloud Drive to File Explorer.
The app uses the same system as Microsoft's OneDrive application to display all files without them necessarily taking up space on the device. You may choose the files and folders that you want to keep on the Windows 10 device so that you may access them even without an internet connection.
You can push files to iCloud from the Windows 10 device using File Explorer.
The iCloud app supports a couple of extra features such as photo syncing, file and album sharing, mail, contacts, calendar, tasks and bookmarks syncing, and basic collaboration options.

Spotimo (Beta)
Spotimo is a new music app for Windows 10 that tries to combine the best features of Spotify and Groove Music.
The application is a Spotify client that does not require the official Spotify client.
You may use it to play songs, albums, artists, or playlists, watch music videos, use Cortana to control the client with your voice, and use it without a premium Spotify account.
