  1. Win10: How do uninstall 3 gb of WindowsApps I never asked for but suddenly appeared?


    I can't believe the arrogance of Microsoft. All this UNWANTED programs suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I've turned off Windows Update because I can't trust this company one bit. And of course you can't uninstall all this garbage. It's the one thing I want to get rid of and it doesn't even appear in Apps in Settings so I can't get rid of it. I can find the folder and open it in TreeSize because that is not from Microsoft - I can't open it in Windows Explorer! but when I go to delete anything in this folder that just appeared today, it says:You require permission from

    Revo Uninstaller List Differs from Win10 Progs and Features List


    I'm running Win10 Pro 64bit and Revo Uninstaller Pro v3.1.5. There is a huge discrepancy in the installed programs lists provided by Revo Uninstaller and the Win10 Programs and Features control panel. They both say there are 83 installs (that's good). But Revo Uninstaller claims that 15 programs were installed a few days ago on 2/29/2016. The correct number is 3 which is what Win10 says. Today I uninstalled Revo Uninstaller (using Revo Uninstaller to do it) and then reinstalled it. No help.

    I guess it might be OK to ignore this discrepancy but I find it surprising.

    Suggestions?

  3. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
