Windows 10: programs foisted upon me every time there's a forced update

Windows 10 Home

-How do i stop microsoft from weighing down my computer with unwanted programs and garbage I never wanted with every "update"?

It is infuriating to be constantly trying to free up space for the programs and apps I need and trying to guess which programs microsoft loads onto my system without permission, are able to be uninstalled without screwing up my computer.

How can someone without a degree in IT discern unnecessary programs loaded on by microsoft from necessary updates?

Also-just curious why windows will not allow me to copy and paste my basic pc info when necessary like now?

Thanks.

:)

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
