Xbox Insiders participating in the PC Gaming Preview program can now test the new “My Apps” feature in the Xbox PC App on Windows 11 devices, including PCs and handhelds. The feature provides centralized access to games and frequently used third-party applications such as web browsers, gaming tools, and even app stores.
“My Apps” appears as a dedicated tab within the Xbox PC App’s library. It allows users to locate, view, and download supported third-party applications directly from the interface. The feature supports the aggregated gaming library that provides easy access to games across multiple platforms and services. Users can discover, install, and launch titles without navigating away from the app or switching to the desktop environment.
Initial access includes a curated selection of downloadable applications. Microsoft plans to expand app availability in future updates.
The feature is optimized for handheld devices such as the ROG Xbox Ally, coming this October. It integrates with the full-screen Xbox experience, allowing seamless navigation between applications. System modifications reduce background processes and delay non-critical tasks, allocating more resources to active gameplay.
Combined with the aggregated gaming library and play history features, “My Apps” aims to position the Xbox PC App as a central hub for game discovery, management, and play across all storefronts.

Hello, Sergey. I have no idea how to make a Winaero Tweaker feature request to you. Copilot told me to go to this website and look for the comments section, but I could not find it. My feature requests involves ‘Advanced Appearance Settings \ System Font’. This feature lets us change the Segoe UI font to something else. But actually, I want to keep it Segoe UI font. I just want the font to be bigger. Windows has two options. One is Scaling. The other is Accessibility > Text Size. But this makes the font big everywhere, like on websites, my Chrome browser Sidebar, etc. I just want to change the font size in the File Explorer. I am thinking that if I can change the System Font size, it will affect the File Explorer without affecting the browser or other programs that I use. Could you add this feature to change the font size? I am using Windows 11, by the way.
Hello. Thanks for the suggestion. I need to look first.
