I actually like Microsoft Store for its ability to update PowerShell for you.
- metadat 4y agoIs there a way to get a listing of what will be removed and then only wipe out selected egregious bloatware offenses like Candy Crush Saga, Xbox Console Companion, Mixed Reality Portal, Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Prime Video, Skype, Hidden City: Hidden Object Adventure, Twitter , Print 3D, Fitbit Coach, Farmville 2, Adobe Express, 3D Viewer, Feedback Hub, OneDrive, MS Teams, ClipChamp, etc.
- JoeyBananas 4y agoAm I understanding correctly that those apps are installed on Windows by default? That's crazy.
- metadat 4y agoCorrect. This isn't even the complete list. The bloatware bundled with Windows by default today is arguably worse and more extreme than at any point in the past, even compared to the bundling done in the early 2000s by Compaq and HP.
- xist 4y agoOn a vanilla windows installation, almost all of those are only shortcuts to install the application is included as a convenience to endusers who may want this. You can confirm this by looking at the size of the application when you goto uninstall it.
- metadat 4y agoInteresting, though more irksome than wasting storage, these all congest and pollute the Start Menu.
