With the arrival of Windows 10 there were many voices that sometimes complained about how difficult it was to access the Windows Store, some problems that were generated above all when searching for and buying applications.

From Redmond it seems that they are listening to user complaints and this, although it may not be the only one, may be the reason why have undergoing a restyling to Windows Store, your app store for Windows 10.

It has been a step through the operating room with which Microsoft intends to improve visibility in the store in order to facilitate the user the possibility to find quality applications, tasks for which the American company has devised algorithms that help us in the process.

This is a system that evaluates our search and based on it and our preferences, offers us a list of applications you think, may be of more interest.

• And if these measures continue to generate a problem, Microsoft has enabled Support for Developers in the event that a specific application You may experience a specific problem in the Application Store.

Three measures, three aspects, which are not only there, since the company ensures that in addition from the month of March they will carry out a complete reviewof the applications published in the Windows Store in order to keep user opinions and ratings up to date, aspects that may change in the different versions of the application.
