    bloatware


    I want to know why Microsoft thinks its absolutely necessary to install apps like skype, xbox, etc, on all computers, and then makes it impossible to completely remove it, wothout it returning during the next update.

    Xbox essentially functions asmalware, at this point. You can disable it, you can remove the apps and etc, but its never gone.

    It leaves one foot in the OS at all times, waiting for a window if opportunity to insert itself back in.

    I have tried everything to get rid of it. Everything. If it weren't for the Monopoly that this company has overall third-party apps that I actually need to use, I would never touch another Windows machine.


    So now i just want to know why. Why is this built into the system. Why can't i wipe xbox and other useless 3rd party apps from windows 10.

    Ans why doesnt the freaking cd burner on this OS finish CDs?

    :)

    Bloatware


    I finally received my Dell Laptop. It came with little bloatware and I am very surprised with it. So far it works flawless. However, the bloatware that it did come with, I would like to know if I should remove it.


    The following is the list of bloatware:


    1.) CyberLink Media Suite Essentials
    2.) proDAD Adorage 3.0

    Should I delete these 2 items?

    Surprised you don't have McAfee listed there........That comes on every Dell I have ever seen........

    PC Decrapifier will take most if not all of the bloatware off for you.....

    Those are two packages that are pretty pricey to buy outright!
    I would play around with them first to see if you may use them in the future.

    I deleted a Cyberlink package ('bloatware') from a PC of mine years ago and often wished I hadn't.
