    Windows 10 Upgrading from Windows 7 32-bit to Windows 10 64-bit

    Windows 10 Odd programs delay shutdown

    Since upgrading to Win 10 I have noticed that when shutting down my PC one or two programs seem to be delaying the shutdown.

    Windows 10 Apps vs programs

    I tend to use "app" to refer to the metro apps and "program" to refer to things like excel or Word. But in W10 menus, "app" seems to refer to both which I find confusing. Why the blurring of the distinction? Thanks.
