I’m just an average poor guy who has been testing software on Windows 11 since 2001.
These programs work very well for me, you may like them or you might not.
The programs in red text I use a lot and I highly recommend you try them.
Portable programs say portable to the right of them.
Microsoft Store apps say Microsoft Store to the right of them.
Online programs say online to the right of them.
To download apps and programs, use your browser to search for them, or the Microsoft Store.
When installing, make sure to read and to check and uncheck boxes for features you want or don’t want.
After installing, go to their options or preferences and check or uncheck features you want or don’t want.
I hope this list helps somebody.
