    Why are we FORCED to keep unwanted Microsoft features installed?


    I would like to hear your best reasoning on why a PC user is FORCED to keep unwanted Microsoft apps and features installed against their will? Apps like Cortana, Xbox Game Bar, Microsoft Edge & it's WebView 2 and so many more are not for everyone. As well as the hundreds of background processes running and eating up the hard drive space & memory of the GPU & CPU that WE PURCHASED AND OWN.I spent a lot of money on my computer to use it THE WAY I WANT to, and all your BLOATWARE makes it very difficult to achieve any progress with the SOFTWARE & APPLICATIONS I CHOOSE AND NEED TO R

    Unwanted feature updates being forced over metered connection

    Can you explain why this update "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803" was forced on me over a metered connection? If I hacked into your pc and sent you unwanted software and made you pay for the 4g bandwidth it lapped up and then made you
    lose work time while it installed itself that would be illegal wouldn't it?
