Have you tried edge browser? It's so much faster than chrome
How about a load of default start menu items for nonsense like candy crush?
...maybe you'll appreciate that we integrated our cloud storage in explorer.
There's still a fair bit of it in 10 - though it seems easier to deal with, and think it's dialled down in Pro.
Yeah I'm using Pro maybe that's why I haven't seen those. I did have my start menu filled with garbage but once I removed everything years ago I haven't seen them since
Exactly, it's really simple to just disable it and then never see it again but the way these memes are you'd think Microsoft is beating these people up and stealing their lunch money.
Every time something like this comes up, there are side discussions about all the settings and registry edits that can be used to disable various things. Each individual thing is not super hard to change, but there is an ever growing set of ads and personal-info siphoning 'features' being added all the time.
It's deliberately exploitative crap driven by greed. So I'd discourage anyone from being a Microsoft apologist for this stuff. It is not ok.
