Windows Store apps for Windows 10 can be programmed in a variety of languages, including C++ or C# with XAML used for interfaces, and even JavaScript with HTML and CSS used for the interface. The different languages have different strengths and weaknesses of course, with JavaScript probably being the most limited due to it originally being designed for front-end web development and having a number of restrictions for security purposes, as well as running slower in general due to being an interpreted language as opposed to a compiled language, C++ being potentially the strongest but also probably the most complex to work with (even though it's actually Visual C++ and thus behaves more like managed code), and C# probably being the most well-rounded and easiest to learn. Classic desktop programs, however, are generally written in either C++ or C#.
