  1. Removing various unneeded applications


    After scouring the net - I notice there is no way to remove some of the more pointless features in Windows 10. Why is this ?


    I do not need/use skype/meet now or any of that pointless rubbish. I do not use the Microsoft Store. In fact, I don't even need the terrible antimalware or the constant "updates" that are forced on me. Further, I do not need it to illegally install software behind my back and disallow me to uninstall it. I have no interest in your "security" lies - we all know that sensible users have patched these and don't need to download a 10Gb file to "patch it" which half the time it doesn't. Why do I need 500 "Push Syncs" running ? Why is there so many backdoors for re-enabling the terrible update system, and more to the point - when did you stop programming and hire a bunch of skiddies to write terrible code ?


    Is there an actual way to remove this excessive nonsense, or do I need to hack the **** out of it and rewrite the bad code in order to have a system that can function properly ? I'd be a LOT happier if I could remove Task Scheduler and services that won't allow me to turn them off permanently and pretend that there's "an error" when I try to.


    I hacked 98SE kernel once reported up to 10% resources freed just by removing the logging, but this mess is just too much.


    Do I have to blackhole all microsoft sites in the future, reverse & recode the OS itself in order to get a half-working system - or is there a simple "turn off" feature ? The system is now even starting to ignore registry tweaks to turn off that awful antimalware service seriously, it's not stopped anything - what is the point of it other than to slow the system down ?.


    Or has Microsoft decided that people are not allowed to choose what they run on their computer ?

    :)

  3. Removing Default email address from Email & Apps accounts

    Hello Manjunath H,

    thank your for the reply.

    1. The machine was created by a "Local Admin Account" ( MACHINE-Name\local_Admin ).
    2. Way later the Windows-Live-ID was added.
    3. The Windows-Live-ID cannot be used to logon to the machine ( Error Message comes up ).

    • In resume you suggest me to do what has be done in creating the machine?
    • I am everytime using the "Local-Admin-Account" to Log-On to the machine.
    • I am asking for a way to remove "unneeded Information" from the machine.
    • A "Windows-Live-Id" is unneeded cause I am not using it and I do not like to have it longer on this machine

    My View of the situation is ...

    - Machine was working stand-alone for months ( wihout to be bound to a Windows-Live-ID )

    - In adding the first "Windows-Live-Id" something went wrong cause it cannot be removed

    - MS is not able to give "Steps to correct" or "Re-Adjust" the machine to a "default" state

    - Removing of a "Windows-Live-ID" is not working if there is something wrong happened

    Regards ... Stefan

    Removing various unneeded applications

    Can't remove application from N70

    I recently installed an application that I downloaded from the internet.

    I installed it via PC Suite's Install Applications option.

    I've now decided that it's pants, so I wish to delete it.

    According to the help that I have found, I choose "Options" then "Remove". But "Remove" isn't on the options list.

    Any suggestions?
