1) Just pin it to Start, open the starmenu and drag it to the desktop
2) MS is changing the stores storage system soon
3) Its actually an "app" cause its a store application (though is every other program on your pc too, but i agree, i do not like the term "app" too)
4) mimi?
Looks like the visuals put it on par with Gears 3 now ( http://deadendthrills.com/gallery/?gid=32 ) though the PC version has some extra enhancements (Besides D3D12) like improved textures and support for above whatever Gears 3 runs at natively on console.
(This I linked to is running via some special dev build, there's no plans on properly porting the entire series to PC currently as far as I know.)
EDIT: Wonder how Gears 4 will be, that should be using UE4 no?
(And might possibly end up on PC via Microsofts LIVE / Win10 store initiative.)
I don't think there's anything specific to DX12 but it's using that API although the only advantage over DX11 is probably in performance, they might use async compute functionality but again that would be mainly affect performance, not visuals.
DirectX 12 doesn't really have any exclusive special features as far as I'm aware, well none that directly affects visuals at least, but it offers a more "direct" connection between the API and the GPU (Which in turn also makes it more difficult to work with but it's offering a lot more control than D3D11 does.) plus it's also easier on the CPU utilization which can offer significant improvements performance wise as seen with various benchmarks already.
(There's some new tools and functions for developing with the API and the oft mentioned async compute functionality for optimizing but there's no new shader model or such.)
EDIT: In turn though as DX12 allows developers to get more out of GPU's and CPU's (And the XBO.) they can implement more advanced shaders and the like and affect visual quality in that way.
(Better methods for shadows, ambient occlusion, dof and global illumination for example or at least more precision with these effects.)
Like I said it looks great on PC.....but $45 CAD is so much!! My old Gears of War PC crashes every 2min on Win 10....I have tried many fixes with no luck....I think M$ put the boot in for it so it won't run!! HaHa! I can't even download it anymore....it says they can't find my purchase order....(TRY LATER!!!) FUCK OFF!! Market PLACE!!
Damn KC, this game has bitched you out into upgrading for win10... shame
Anyway, womb raider instructions were:

On Windows 10, hit the Windows key to bring up the Start bar and type region. A few results will appear; click on region and language settings.
At this point, pick Ukraine as your region and click on this link to open the Windows Store Ukrainian page for Rise of the Tomb Raider. You may also pick India and click on this link, though in this case it will cost you slightly more ($13).
Just figure out and replace the URL's for hurrs of durr and that should be it... assuming the trick is still working
The payment won't go.
It had some trouble at the postal code and I had to remove "-" for it to pass but it wont accept the payment.
edit: Lets say i will buy it in my region (its 30$). They dont offer refunds or anything... is there at least 30fps cap in the game ? I guess riva tuner would not work and I wont be able to get 60

I recently tried to download my "gears of war" from "Games for Windows Marketplace" I kept getting the same error....saying " can't retrieve purchase history and the download would fail. I went onto M$ live support chat and this is what they said exact chat lines
Chat: I just checked with our back office while you were doing that, Zellar. We do apologize but I'm afraid to say that the reason as to why you are getting the error is that Games for Windows Live marketplace is closed on last August of 2015. The server is up and running but all the contents that we own before could not be downloaded. We can see the content but we are not able to download it.
Chat: As a fellow gamer, I know what you wanted to happen and understand your side of things here. Everything is documented on our end too. But since GFWL marketplace has been decommissioned last year, that's why we could not get the original copy of the game. Alternative option we have is the mention about passing it through GFWL servers.
They asked me if I had a copy of the game and I said it wasn't legit....he said to go ahead and use that as they have a licence stamped of my purchase!!!! Go ahead and use the pirate copy!!
So that's what I am doing!! HaHa!! I can't believe it!!
They are not selling the game, they are selling their store, so even low sales are good enough for the experiment.

Was anyone able to record gameplay videos? Shadowplay wont record in-game gameplay (just shows the menu) and Windows 10 DVR only records 30fps. Any help?
Just the lightmass alone is making a big difference.
