I assure you; they will randomly reinstall with a friendly, focus stealing, notification. It’s rather disappointing. In fact; I have not used this system since (mostly due to unrelated logistics).

> they will randomly reinstall with a friendly, focus stealing, notification. Maybe you clicked "use defaults" on some setup messages? When a software or a web site asks me anything related to privacy, advertisements, tracking, etc., I usually pick best settings for me. The defaults are likely to be the best ones for the developers of software/web site.

  This is one part of it. A good user experience doesn't require the user to solve a word puzzle to avoid getting spammed. Good user experience is having good defaults.

  This particular windows 10 experience is from an upgrade method. Quite confident I toggled appropriate settings off - but I have done so many deploys / upgrades personally and professionally - perhaps I missed something on this asset? Either way; I state my experience with the platform.

I assure you; they won't. Uninstalled apps don't reinstall on upgrade (or at any other time) unless you have something in place that manually does it. This was a major complaint for a long time and MS fixed it 18 months ago or so.

  I concur. This used to happen to my system but appears to have been fixed. The last few updates did not reinstall unwanted apps and they have remained uninstalled. The fact that the stuff is even there to begin with leaves a bad taste in my mouth still, but glad to see the OS is now properly respecting the opt-out at the very least

  I’m sorry, but the only way you are correct is if I somehow clicked a prompt to reinstall candy crush whilst interacting with a full screen application. I, manually; removed candy crush. (Months And months prior) Candy crush was automatically reinstalled, with a notification, without me initialising it. There was no manual action taken by me except that to close the notification (from notification centre) that it had been reinstalled. This reinstallation happened within the last 6 months. Happy to try review audit logs when I am, once again; logistically able. As noted; I have barely touched this asset since (for unrelated logistical reasons - I’m about 150kms away from it, and it is powered down).. so confident the logs would exist. I would appreciate you not suggesting it happened otherwise.
