    Why does Windows keep re-installing apps?


    Why is it that every time I update Windows so that I can keep my system "safe and secure" or so they say applications that I have intentionally deleted are re-downloaded and installed onto my computer? I deleted those apps for a reason but I have to re-delete them practically every time I update. I don't want any stupid games, Co-Pilot, or any other stupid **** installed on my PC.Why is it every time the system updates, settings I have changed revert back to "Microsofts" defaults?Why can't I delete Microsoft Edge from my PC? If I want any additional software from Microsoft I will download

    :)

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    +1

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
