Six-hundred-thirteen in a series. Welcome to this week's overview of the best apps, games and extensions released for Windows 10 and 11 on the Microsoft Store and elsewhere in the past seven days.

New or notably improved Windows apps

Configure Defender

The open source application offers an easy way to change the configuration of Microsoft Defender on Windows 10 and 11 devices (also Server).

The app displays all settings on a single-screen. You may also select presets, such as default or max, to change the entire configuration of Microsoft Defender with a single button press.

MultOS-USB

You may use the open source app to use multiple ISO images on a single USB device. It works similarly to Ventoy in this regard.

The app supports BIOS and UEFI, Secure Boot, may be used to load UEFI drivers and more. OS-wise, it supports Windows 10 and 11 as well as Linux.

Windows Selection Color Changer

The open source app gives you options to modify the colors used when you draw a rectangle on the screen to select multiple items at once on Windows devices.

You may use it to change the color of the outline and the fill selection.
