    Ok, just wanted to confirm. Striping them out in non standard ways can sometimes break things. So every time you reboot they show up again? Are you running the Consumer build or Insider build? Run winver and post back what build your on please. System page > Help > about Windows will give it to you too.

    Hi im running consumer build os build 10586.494 yes after every reboot. Ive done a few recoveries but first time this happened.
     
  3. 10586.494 is the build I'm on, no such issues. Have you seen any "installing updates" etc messages when you shut down? Best guess is you clean installed an old build and it upgraded to the latest. And reinstalled those Apps in the process.

    Windows 10 1511 automatically downloading candy crush, twitter?

    No install messages its wierd few weeks back I did recovery and a registry key came with the new install it was a poker gambling software...I do use it..so I did another recovery and this started happening.
    I bought Netgear nighthawk router last year while on windows 7 it had to go back for defective after that ive had high latency static playing videos and I was told it could be comming from my service provider or build up in the system...I Installed spybot anti beacon on win 10 high latency started back up...its seems after windows update high latency on network card stops for a few days its odd especially how it started rght after I removed the router now it continues. Anyways just wanted to pass that your way. Im with linux as soon as it hit stores.
    Thanks for your help.

  6. Where did you get your install media from? The poker gambling software sounds like a drive by install from something else you installed?

    You can download Linux for free from the internet. It has its own set of pitfalls though. I run it on my Raspberry Pi.

    The windows was done by media creation tool the poker software was downloaded but when I did a recovery 1 key remained which is very wierd but prior to recovery the poker software was already uninstalled but would not remove from the uninstall app area. The key removed once I did another recovery then the candy issue begin.
    Im going to wait on Linux hitting stores HP was going to release one.
    Ive disable suggestions in start menu.
    I will do a restart in a few hours and check back.

    That second recovery point you used was likely created before you uninstalled candy crush etc. Is they will come back. Have you even used Linux before? It's an almost totally different user experience from Windows. You could wait a long time for it to show up in a brick and mortar shop. It's easily obtainable online though.

    I wipe all data and go to defaults when I do recovery I dont choose a point then windows updates it version.
    I restarted this evening canady crush is on recently added in start menu right click-/uninstall same with Twitter. I search HD for candy or twitter nothing no files.
    The Linux I will play with when i get a new computer throw it on this old one.
    Thanks for trying to help resolve this issue.
     
  10. How often are you doing a recovery? Recovery will likely put them back. They aren't actually installed though. It's just a link in the start menu that will do a full install when you click on the candy crush tile. Remove the Tile and they don't install.

    Recovery 3 times a year. I manually remove them from app uninstall then candy and Twitter show up in recently added afer every boot with unpin and uninstall option. I guess I will just keep removing them.
    Cheers
     
  12. If it was me I'd redo my install with a clean install. That is not normal for them to come back after every reboot..
