If you're not able to find the contact details of the app publisher then do this and you can provide feedback to the developer of the app:

• Locate the app in the App list or Games Collection list. Here's how to find them:
  • On Start, flick left to the App list and locate your app in the list.
  • On Start, tap Games, and locate your app in the Collection list.
• Tap and hold the app's tile.
• Select Rate and review.

 

Getting Various System Informations with Built-in CMD Commands

It is possible to get a lot of information about the system with various built-in commands, especially DISM in Windows, and save them as a txt file on your desktop.

You can save these codes in a bat file and run them as an administrator, paste them into the command prompt you started with administrator privileges and run them.
