Although manually searching for and downloading apps has remained the most popular method of installing apps on Windows systems for years, these aren’t the only options available. The Store has been around for a long time, but for years it didn’t support traditional apps and tools. However, there is another tool that makes managing apps much easier.

In Windows 10 (and newer versions), Windows 11, and Windows Server, there is a built-in tool called WinGet (Windows Package Manager).

In 2025, just before the official end of technical support for Windows 10, Microsoft launched a program to extend security updates for consumers until October 13, 2026. That date is no longer valid.

According to the latest information, support for ESU has been extended to October 12, 2027.

The Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for Windows 10 is designed to provide customers with a more secure option for continuing to use Windows 10 computers after October 14, 2025.

Recently, many news sites reported on the release of a version of Notepad++ for Mac computers. As it turns out, this version has nothing to do with the original program and infringes on its trademarks.

The author of the original Windows version of the program posted a message in which he explicitly states that a trademark infringement has occurred.
