Windows 10: Remove Family Features From Pro OS!

Windows 7 Pro was a very stable professional operating system because it was simple.


Windows 10 Pro is a family OS, full of games & settings for family users... it is NOT professional, at all!


I run a small business - DOWNgraded to Windows 10 "pro" from Win7 PRO & I no longer have control over the programs that are available to users. I have very little control because Microsoft changes the names of the features/apps and/or settings at random; resetting all Admin control. I can't even Uninstall the unused phone apps!


I was wondering if anyone else feels this way OR have you found a way around the Microsoft GRIP over the phone apps they put on a professional OS?


What happened to programs for PC & apps for phones anyway?


Who owns this PC & should have the final say on what is installed??


When will Microsoft respect the User again; as with Windows 7 Pro - the BEST & MOST STABLE OS EVER CREATED?!?


Any thoughts? Ideas?

[Other than switch to Linux? LOL]
