Windows store downloaded something without my knowledge

I open the windows store and a file immediately began to download. It's labeled as "drm". Anyone familiar with this?

It looks like there is an e-Book reader that comes up in a search. The only other thing I can think of, is you may have gotten some paid media content and the store was downloading the DRM license for it.

I didn't download any media and I didn't download media content. I downloaded one app and it was the Fitbit app. Not very happy about mystery apps being installed on my computer. If that's the case I'll never open the windows App Store ever again.

DRM is not always used only for media, it can also be used for apps.

The thing is this mystery app, after it downloaded, is nowhere to be found on my computer.

This statement found on the Fitbit site suggests that DRM is indeed involved with their product:

Even if you download a free app, you still need the Store to acquire the rights for you to download/own it.

I don't think you are seeing the issue.

1) apps that download that don't appear on my computer

2) something was downloaded but it didn't tell me or give me a choice

If this is the "norm" for windows then the only apps I download will be on my iPhone and I won't visit the MS Store. I seriously doubt I'm the only person who will feel that way.
