Windows is popular among users because of its vast range of software available for users. On average, a Windows user might have more than twenty apps installed on their computer device.
While there are no restrictions on installing apps, you should double-check the app permissions. The apps you install can have permission to access your camera, microphone, location, etc.

1. Open the Settings app on your Windows 10 computer and select Privacy.
