Best Windows apps this week

Four-hundred-eighty-six in a series. Welcome to this week's overview 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 10 version 20H2 support is running out next month. Devices may be upgraded to a newer version of Windows 10, e.g., Windows 10 version 21H2, or to Windows 11, provided that they meet the system requirements.

The recent KB5012592 update for Windows 11 re-introduced support for switching default browsers with just a few clicks.
