Netflix is one of the most popular video streaming services out there. Available in most regions and countries, Netflix offers a wide range of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and more.
Although Netflix can be accessed via web browsers, an official app has also been made available for Windows operating system. In fact, the Netflix app for Windows has been available for a few years now.
One of the benefits of the Netflix app over accessing it via a web browser is that it lets you download movies so that you can watch them offline or when you are on a low-speed internet connection.
