Universal Windows Platform apps
open-in-new
<p>Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps (formerly named Windows Store apps, Metro-style apps and Modern apps) are <a href="/facts/Application_software/YQuj7Kog">applications</a> that can be used across all compatible <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a> devices. They are primarily purchased and downloaded via the <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Store/tnnWFhAF">Microsoft Store</a>, Microsoft's digital application storefront. UWP was deprecated in October 2021. </p>
