  1. How to stop Microsoft install stuff on my Computer


    I have had enough now. I have Office 2016 full version. its fine. But Microsoft installed Web based software, so instead of opening up in Office 2016, it opens up in the web based. I keep getting junk apps, I have never played Candy Crush and never will but Microsoft keep installing it. And other Apps. And now the Meet Now, which they Crashed my PC to install. I don't want it. I don't use Skype, I removed it, yet Microsoft reinstalled it. So I want to stop this Madness. How do I stop Microsoft doing this. please. I own this PC not them, I decide what apps to use. Microsoft adding and removing Programs should be stopped. How?

    :)

    Shortcut key for "My Stuff" ?

    Using Windows 10, here's the steps I'm taking to search for files on the computer:

    • Click Start Menu (or tap the Windows key on the keyboard)
    • Start typing a search term
    • Click "My Stuff"
    • When it finds your file, click it to make the file open
    • If you want to open File Explorer and peruse similar files without opening files:
      • After clicking "My Stuff" (in Step 3) go to the bottom area under "Other places to look" and click "File Explorer"
      • File Explorer opens

      Question: I don't want to use the mouse to click "My Stuff" in step 3. Is there a shortcut key?
