However, finding apps that can be useful in your everyday life can be challenging, considering threat actors are always lurking in the shadows. Fortunately, we have compiled a list of five malware-free, useful Windows apps you should install today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-sumatra-pdf\">1. Sumatra PDF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know Adobe has a monopoly on the PDF format, making reading or editing one without it&#8217;s tools challenging. Additionally, the fact that Adobe\u2019s Acrobat Reader is slow and sluggish makes reading downloaded eBooks or research papers a hassle. Enter Sumatra PDF, a fast and easy-to-use PDF and eBook reader that is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sumatra-1-890x700.png\" alt=\"Image of the Sumatra PDF app\" class=\"wp-image-317396\" width=\"639\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sumatra-1-890x700.png 890w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sumatra-1-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sumatra-1-768x604.png 768w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sumatra-1.png 1153w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The app supports various file formats, including PDF, EPUB, XPS, CHM, MOBI, CBZ, CBR, and DjVu, and also allows users to carry their entire eBook collection on a simple USB drive, making it a go-to for any student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming to the interface, the app is designed for intuitive reading and scrolling. However, for users wanting additional features, Sumatra provides a concise toolbar with essential tools.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"ub-buttons align-button-center orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\"  id=\"ub-button-fb1c0f04-4a7d-4db3-9581-21aec455452b\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sumatrapdfreader.org\/download-free-pdf-viewer\" target=\"_blank\"\n    rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n    class=\"ub-button-block-main ub-button-medium ub-button-flex-medium\" role=\"button\">\n    <div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\"><span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Download Sumatra PDF<\/span>\n    <\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-flow-launcher\">2.

However, there is an easy way to fix this problem. Flow Launcher, once installed, reintroduces the spotlight search functionality and lets users customize the shortcut for the search bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"546\" data-id=\"317398\" src=\"https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flow-launcher-1-1024x546.jpg\" alt=\"Image of the Flow Launcher app\" class=\"wp-image-317398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flow-launcher-1-1024x546.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flow-launcher-1-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flow-launcher-1-768x409.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flow-launcher-1-1536x819.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flow-launcher-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, this app also facilitates searching for files, system commands, Windows settings, and web queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"996\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flow-launcher-2-996x700.png\" alt=\"Image of Flow launcher Windows app 2\n\" class=\"wp-image-317397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flow-launcher-2-996x700.png 996w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flow-launcher-2-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flow-launcher-2-768x540.png 768w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/flow-launcher-2.png 1503w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"ub-buttons align-button-center orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\"  id=\"ub-button-d5f33850-bd5a-4a50-b390-497baaa97448\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flowlauncher.com\/#\" target=\"_blank\"\n    rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n    class=\"ub-button-block-main ub-button-medium ub-button-flex-medium\" role=\"button\">\n    <div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\"><span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Download Flow Launcher<\/span>\n    <\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-ds4windows\">3.

While Microsoft has now fixed this issue by giving users the choice of the position, many still do not like its look and feel. This is where Start 11 comes in, as it allows users to customize the looks of the Windows 11 start menu with three styles &#8211; Windows Pro, Windows App, and Windows Launcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"563\" data-id=\"317403\" src=\"https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-1-1024x563.jpg\" alt=\"Image of Start11 - 1\" class=\"wp-image-317403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-1-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-1-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-1-768x422.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-1-1536x844.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"317402\" src=\"https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-2-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Image of Start11 - 2\" class=\"wp-image-317402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-2-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-2-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-2-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-2-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fossbytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/start11-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These styles bring a modern touch to the Windows 11 interface, offering users new ways to personalize their desktops.
