  1. Deinstallation of Windows 10 features


    After being fed up with windows 10 update problems, I have set up my two Windows 10 64 Bit systems recently without deinstalling any Windows 10 features that you only able to deinstall by extern programms like CCleaner etc. or internally by Powershell.

    When updating the systems I did not have any problems, rpt. any problems.
    Could it be that deinstalling Windows 10 features or useless apps is cutting so deep into the system, that updates can not be executed wihout problems ?
    Could it be that Microsoft has done this by purpose ?

    Regards H.P.

    :)

  3. Why can't I deinstall the not / never needed Xbox, Cortana and OneDrive App from Windows 10

    Hello,

    I want to remove / deinstall the Xbox, Cortana and OneDrive App from Windows 10 from my business PC but in the "System\Apps & Features" dialog the Deinstall button is grayed out and OneDrive is not listed even in "Systemsteuerung\Alle Systemsteuerungselemente\Programme
    und Features".

    Thanks for the help,

    Deinstallation of Windows 10 features

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
