Windows 10: Now Gone: Photosynth, Food & Drink, Health & Fitness, and Travel apps

Okay, I heard you the first time.

 

That's your opinion and not mine. I don't like it and I never will.

 

When I buy a car I look for one that has the options I want or I'll order one that does.

 

It'd be nice to be able to hide the icons that you don't want cluttering the All Apps Menu or, be able to Pin to the Start List, (the front Start Menu), the Apps you do use.

 

... Or, you could uninstall the packages you don't want with PowerShell.

 

There are basic apps and there are bloat apps.
Like when you buy a car, there is a basic package and an upgrade package.
We should only get what we need. Nothing more. Nothing less.

 

You musnt buy too many cars, most now come with all the bells and whistles, just like a new home now comes with turf, fencing, clothes driers, washing machines etc.

If we were to get just get what we need, we should still be using DOS. I remember all the outraged people when Windows first came out, it was like Windows 8 and Metro Apps, I will never use Windows 8, I will never use Metro Apps, some things never change.

 

Your response is so, not even on point
Regardless of whether the app is supported or not does not mean it never existed, and so, it should still show up in my store library.
two, I can think of offhand are;
Mediabrowser app I purchased for 8.1 but works on 10, used to show up now it doesn't
OutcoldPlayer was an app to play your Google music (it is no longer supported because of Google changes), but, I still purchased it and it should show as a purchase even though it is no longer exists
...there are others

Since you asked, yes a lot more...
Why can't you view your personal apps in alphabetical order as opposed to date acquired.
Next why don't they display which are/were purchased and not purchased
why can't you see which apps are on which devices any longer, has that policy changed?
Why do some purchased apps not show up and others do?

off point:
why do some people think some items listed here are not legitimate concerns?
and why do some people try to provoke others into meaningless debates?

... the list goes on, but those are for discussions in a different post

Thanks for asking

@HippsieGypsie
thank you for the diagram with the "Show All" button, hopefully that will help others, but my concerns were for things that simply did not show at all.

 

Yes, I've still got that on floppy disks!!*chuckle

I can't uninstall them all; some can only be removed from the start page. But since I use the old desktop with my old program icons on it, I rarely see all this new rubbish.

Ok people of topic(a wee bit) but Now I'll drop the bomb:

I can deal with a few Microsoft apps, even a few MSN apps(the ones getting nuked), BUT what I can't deal with are the junk App Store apps that come with a new PC from OEM*Mad. They are just as bad, if not worse, then the other Crapware. When I clean install there is no crapware, but if I use the same Microsoft account, the uninstalled apps still show up(even when never used just uninstalled) in store*Banghead.

 

Folks, you can uninstall ANY app including the store itself if you take a bit of time to learn powershell, or browse the net to find someone else's ps script. Sure, it's not right click, uninstalling but it isn't hard either.

 

I mentioned that in post #41 *Wink

 

That's, good to know, still, shouldn't have to resort to that. And it still doesn't get rid of the clutter in the My Apps section of the Store.

 

Hmm. I've been using Store apps since inception in 8RP. Every one of them has followed me along via MS account, whether free or purchased. Have a ton of them since I have a Windows Lumia too. Guesstimate 150 of them?

In doing more research, I found that after hitting the "Show all" they are further categorized with "Works on this device" and "Doesn't work on this device" as seen here.









Admittedly these apps sucked upon introduction in 8RP and because of that I feel they got a bad rep. Inadvertently I stuck with them to learn. With time through updates (and now new concepts/design with them in 10 including the Store app itself) I began to see how some of them, especially the MS ones, worked in conjunction with one another through the Charms. Believe me, this approach saves a lot of time with navigation. Not too many perceived this concept, so MS has abandoned it in 10.

I think they concerted a different approach. e.g. and I see MS has combined the Mail app and the Calendar app using two separate windows with buttons on the lower left to do so. Hopefully they add the People (contacts) app there also.





Why is that? Well, let's say I get an email from you about a certain appointment to keep. I simply switch over to the Calendar app and make it. Saves time in navigation to open another program/app. This all synched to any device via an MS account. It's all about "Products and Services" these days really.

I feel there are some that are indeed a waste of time, however others may enjoy them. What gets my goat and did also over at 8F was/is that members spurt off about these apps when in fact they haven't given them a fair chance. Afterwards if users don't like them that's fine, but don't judge something in ignorance of them/it. That's not to say you are. Just saying is all.
