    Yes, there are millions of apps to choose from in the app store. Many of them are completely free.

    Hi Rishab,

    May I know what kind of laptop are you using?

    If you are using Surface, your device may need to restart to configure Windows Updates. To walk you through on this, kindly refer to the steps below:

    1. On the upper-right corner of the Start screen, select your Username then Sign out.
    2. Shut down your device or Restart at the login screen by selecting the Power symbol on the lower-right hand corner. Your screen should say that its configuring Windows Updates.

    Once done, check if the issue is still happening. Here's a link to know more about Windows RT.
