Why is Windows Camera considered bloatware and meant to be removed? Is there a better free app to replace it with?
- technion 4y agoUnfortunately this is a pretty common tech support query. A lot of these "bloat" scripts are designed by people knowing exactly what they are doing, and meant for such people. Some of them do things like Disable Defender and even Windows Updates. Which is fine if you know why you want those things, but people trying to get dad's computer some extra performance have dug a lot of holes for themselves with debloat scripts. In particular the Windows Store is not always possible to reinstall once removed.
