With Windows 11/10, Microsoft aimed to build an operating system that shared a core that would let the user experience the same type of features across their different Windows devices at almost similar times. This means that with the power of UWP if a feature is shipped to be targeted to a particular device, it becomes easy for the developer to make it available for another device like the Xbox. Similarly, Microsoft recently introduced several new features called Wish List and Shopping Cart for the Microsoft Store.
Today, we will discuss how to use it.
