Windows 10: Can't Install Program from Microsoft Store

Background: I have 2 PCs, one desktop and one laptop. Both are using the same Microsoft Account and both are running the latest version of Windows 10.


I was trying to install an app/program (Virtual Tablet) on my laptop using the Microsoft Store however the app wouldn't install. Instead, however I have the option to download and install it remotely onto my desktop which I did and works but that's not what I want. I don't really know why it doesn't want to install on my laptop since it's an app designed for laptops and only system requirement is to run Windows 8 and higher.

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
