- PartiallyTyped 4y agoI am fairly certain that those get installed as soon as you connect to the web. I have had similar experiences with isos downloaded from M$.
- schroeding 4y agoYep, you can literally open the start menu, connect a fresh (non-Enterprise / Edu / LTSC etc) install to the internet and watch the install stubs for the crap get added in real time. :D
- bentcorner 4y agoI got mine from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 just a week ago and it had a bunch of stuff like this in the start menu (I don't think these pre-installs are anything new). I think they're mostly install shims so they're harmless unless you click on them but still annoying to clean up on a fresh box.
- ethbr0 4y agoI think this is New Microsoft vs Old Microsoft. Everyone bitched that Old Microsoft took too long to roll out new technologies and major versions, because it QA'd the shit out of them, so New Microsoft retooled itself to ship faster. As a consequence, all the bad parts of Microsoft also got the ability to pull request whatever tacky KPI-booster-du-jour was on their pet project list. If MS gave a damn about this, they'd just make a core-only Windows set of packages available at install-time via flags. Because they know perfectly well what's 1st/3rd-party crapware and what's core-Windows.
