What does "N new apps installed" message do in Windows 8.1?

0

Sometimes, probably after some programs installed, I get the following message in new super windows main menu:

enter image description here

If I click this down arrow, then the useless list with numerous applications is displayed with no apparent way to see these 4 apps.

What is the sense of this message?

As you suspect, it's to inform you new apps have been installed.

When you look at the Apps list, those apps should be marked with "New".

They'd be more noticeable if/when you sort the list by install date.

And hopefully you will never see software that you have absolutely no idea what it is or how it get there, but listed as "NEW". – Darius – 2014-05-06T07:40:42.737
