Hey, Microsoft, stop installing third-party apps on clean Windows 10 installs

My favourite tool for dealing with third-party apps is Bulk Crap Uninstaller [0][1] by Klocman Software (Apache license).<p>The real question is how can you disable Microsoft apps if you don&#x27;t want them? For example, disable Cortana on a Win10 system and something new will break every day, including security updates.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;klocmansoftware.weebly.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;klocmansoftware.weebly.com&#x2F;</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Klocman&#x2F;Bulk-Crap-Uninstaller" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Klocman&#x2F;Bulk-Crap-Uninstaller</a>

I&#x27;d rather they try to launch Windows 11 than try to go to a rolling release with bundled apps. Before you know it, you won&#x27;t be able to install Windows 10, but will need to download the vendor specific version from Dell&#x2F;HP&#x2F;Lenovo.<p>Microsoft, Android is not something you want to emulate!
