Info

The Development Documentation is auto generated for every compilation of WinUtil, meaning a part of it will always stay up-to-date. Developers do have the ability to add custom content, which won't be updated automatically.

## Description

Windows 10 will not automatically install any games, third-party apps, or application links from the Windows Store for the signed-in user. Some default Apps will be inaccessible (eg. Phone Link)
