Getting the Most Out of Your Kudos Points
Kudos.
The Windows application model includes both managed apps that run within the context of a managed runtime environment such as Microsoft Store or WinRT and native Win32 desktop applications (also known as classic or legacy desktop apps) whose code is written in unmanaged C++ and calls into the Windows API via the Win32 API. The latter gives desktop applications more control over target platform execution but also trades development productivity for runtime performance. Many desktop applications install Windows services to provide functionality or monetize the application. Some of these install bloatware that you don't want. (This is more common for VPN applications and antivirus software.)
