{{Main|Microsoft Edge}}
Microsoft Edge is the new browser for Windows 10 and is the successor to [[Internet Explorer 11]], although Internet Explorer will remain for compatibility and legacy purposes. [[Cortana (software)|Cortana]] has been integrated into Edge, accessible by the option "Ask Cortana" in the right click menu, as well as a Reading View and the ability to write notes directly on web pages and save to [[OneNote]]. A Reading List feature has also been added, where users can save articles or other content to be accessed and read later. Microsoft Edge also includes a Share button on its toolbar where tapping or clicking on it will bring up the system Share panel, where users will be able to share a webpage to installed applications such as Reading List or third-party apps such as [[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]].<ref name="ms-edge-website">{{Cite web|title=Microsoft Edge - Microsoft|website=[[Microsoft]] |url=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/microsoft-edge|access-date=August 29, 2015|archive-date=January 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200115163149/https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/microsoft-edge|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="win10-edge-readinglist">{{Cite web|title=Take your reading with you - Windows Help|url=http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/getstarted-take-your-reading-with-you|access-date=September 4, 2015|publisher=Microsoft|archive-date=September 4, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904085019/http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/getstarted-take-your-reading-with-you|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="howtogeek-msedge">{{Cite web|title=11 Tips and Tricks for Microsoft Edge on Windows 10|date=July 14, 2015 |url=http://www.howtogeek.com/222214/11-tips-and-tricks-for-microsoft-edge-on-windows-10/|access-date=November 26, 2015|publisher=How-To Geek|archive-date=November 26, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151126044030/http://www.howtogeek.com/222214/11-tips-and-tricks-for-microsoft-edge-on-windows-10/|url-status=live}}</ref> Since its release, Microsoft Edge has scored 402 out of 555 points on [[HTML5test]].<ref name="edge-html5-scoring">{{Cite web|title=Microsoft Edge: the Review|url=http://www.sitepoint.com/microsoft-edge-review/|access-date=September 16, 2015|date=August 18, 2015|publisher=SitePoint|last=Buckler|first=Craig|archive-date=September 20, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150920105223/http://www.sitepoint.com/microsoft-edge-review/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Windows 10 introduces the Game Bar, which provides screenshot and video capture functionality for Windows games.
The Game Bar was later upgraded into a larger overlay, which now features "widgets" windows for functionality such as the user's Xbox friends list, audio settings, and system performance information.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Warren|first=Tom|date=May 22, 2019|title=Microsoft's new Xbox Game Bar launches for Windows 10 as a useful overlay with widgets|url=https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/22/18635709/microsoft-xbox-game-bar-windows-10-release|access-date=June 25, 2021|website=The Verge|language=en|archive-date=June 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210625152931/https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/22/18635709/microsoft-xbox-game-bar-windows-10-release|url-status=live}}</ref>

Windows 10 also allows [[web app]]s and desktop software (using either [[Win32]] or [[.NET Framework]]), to be packaged for distribution on [[Windows Store]]. Desktop software distributed through Windows Store is packaged using the [[App-V]] system to allow [[sandbox (computer security)|sandboxing]]. Web apps are executed from remote servers, and have access to Windows functions such as notifications and camera access. As with Windows 8, locally packaged web apps can be written using [[HTML]] and [[WinJS]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/microsofts-next-attempt-to-fill-the-windows-10-app-gap-web-app-apps/ |title=Microsoft's next attempt to fill the Windows 10 app gap: Web app apps |last1=Peter |first1=Bright |date=March 3, 2015 |website=Ars Technica |publisher=Condé Nast |access-date=March 9, 2015 |archive-date=March 10, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150310020911/http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/microsofts-next-attempt-to-fill-the-windows-10-app-gap-web-app-apps/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=zdnet-appvappgap>{{cite web|title=Here's how Microsoft hopes to get Android and iOS phone apps into its Windows 10 Store|url=
