Potentially Unwanted Programs

[NewsBot]

Hi Microsoft,

 

 

How do I prevent the operating system from pre- and re-installing PUPs on my computer?

 

 

I neither need or want several programs on my computer that seem to have magically been installed without my permission including but not limited to:

• Candy Crush
  
• XBox
  
• Hidden City
  
• LinkedIn
  
• Netflix
  
• Minecraft
  

 

It seems like further blatant disregard for user preferences on behalf of Microsoft which looks like standard operating procedure now...

 

 

Help me get rid of and prevent these garbage applications or better yet, don't force them to be installed in the first place.

 

 

Thanks,
