As we have extensively covered over the week, the Windows 10 Anniversary Update finally was released worldwide yesterday on August 2nd. With the update came a new Windows Store, dark mode and new emojis, an improved Start menu and Action Center, and so much more.

To celebrate, we’ve given all the extensions a look, and have included Microsoft’s download links, and descriptions for you below.
