Windows 10: Windows 10 & Avoiding Crapware

In a recent ZDNet article "Avoid Windows 10 crapware: How to get rid of Candy Crush and all the rest," the author, Ed Bott, states that there are two options for avoiding crapware.

At present, I sign in on my PC with my personal Outlook.com credentials. My Office 365 applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and so on) are all using my Office 365 account.

Because I have a Office 365 Business, I believe that the second option should work for me.

Can someone, please, translate that second option. What must I do?

:)

Missing disc space, and crapware

Hi Marcin,

I apologize for the inconvenience.

You can run check disk and check if it helps.

I suggest you to run Check Disk which performs an analysis of the disk. Refer to the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X.
• Click on Command prompt (Admin).
• Type chkdsk /f and hit enter.

If you have issues with any apps, then you can remove by using PowerShell commands and re-install from the Store.

Open PowerShell, then type get-appxpackage *Microsoft.People* | remove-appxpackage

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
