''[[Windows 10 1511|Windows 10 version 1511]]''. [[Microsoft]] (2015).</ref> and later "'''Trusted Microsoft Store apps'''."<ref>[[Cortana (software)|Cortana]]. ''[[Windows 10 1803|Windows 10 version 1803]]''. [[Microsoft]] (2018).</ref> Other [[computer program]]s running on a desktop computer are "desktop apps."
