    I am looking for the following apps from the windows store.

    1. Video editing app for creating good high quality videos and.

    2. Time tracking app for work. Meaning I want to be able to clock in on a clients motorcycle etc, keep track of my time working on it. and when I'm done, the app will bill my time correctly to the job. Well actually I want to be able to keep track of time and other things regarding the job in one app....any ideas?

    I don't mind paying for them either.

    Why do you want a video editor only from Windows Store?

    The 2nd task sounds like a job for a mobile device (Android/iOS).

    Because it's easy to get for me, just goto the store. Plus, I can then install it on all my devices. I have a full windows 10 computer in my shop, therefore I want a windows 10 store solution for that as well.

    1. That will not be available on Windows store or app-you should instead purchase a full software that does this for you and as anything you get what you Pay for. Want a good video editor pay for it.
    2. As mentioned sounds like a smart phone app only option here. I don't recall seeing such a Windows software like what you want.

    1. Got windows movie maker and it's good enough for what I want, I can cut up clips, add effects, text, music, commentary. Perfect.
    2. I find it hard to believe that no one has a full computer program that does project management like what I need. The only I see with mobile apps are just timers. NOT what I am looking for.

    I am not sure whether there is something like that in the Windows Store. Sounds like you're looking for a project management software that includes billing features. That looks like something you'd have to purchase apart. This is way out of my areas of expertise, but I would expect some to have a "companion" mobile app that you could use to update the data from a phone when you can't be in front of a computer.

    What about something browser based like Tick, Basecamp, Wrike, etc.? I think they all have mobile apps available.

    Tick sounds pretty good. It tracks time like the OP wants. Free also for one project. Recommend that the OP try it and report back here with a review.
