{{No sources|section|date=April 2024}}
Starting with [[Windows 10]], [[Microsoft]] initially used the term "Windows app" to describe [[Universal Windows Platform]] (UWP) apps. These were [[Application software|applications]] that could be installed from the [[Microsoft Store]], which was previously known as the [[Windows Store]]. Initially, these apps were called "Trusted Windows Store apps," and later they were referred to as "Trusted Microsoft Store apps." Traditional programs designed to run on desktop computers were referred to as "[[Desktop app|desktop apps]]."

UWP apps are designed by individuals or software companies which leads to apps having their own look and feel. However, UWP apps built specifically for Windows 10 and 11 typically appear and function differently than ones on older versions, as they use new UI controls that look different from those of previous versions of Windows. The exception to this are apps that use custom UI, which is especially the case with video games. Apps designed for Windows 8.x look significantly different from those designed for Windows 10 and 11.

==Security==
Traditional Windows applications generally have the power to use and change their ecosystem however they want to. Windows [[user account]] rights, [[User Account Control]] and [[antivirus software]] attempt to keep this ability in check and notify the user when the app tries to use it, possibly for malicious purposes.
