    Q's after Upgrade


    Hello......
    new W10Home user asks,
    Upgraded W8.1 today with Media Creation Tool (to lock in license).
    Lots of switches to Off and lots of bloat, ....I'll never use.
    Q1: anyway to remove Scan with Windows Defender from context menu.

    Scan with Windows Defender pops

    Norton has control for me.
    Q2: any free program to find and clean up W10 bloat. I'm picking away at apps and services and scheduled tasks and such that I'll never use. Be nice to have a program to scan and report W10 items/bloat that M$ will allow uninstall.
    For example, if I could I'd remove Edge, Cortana, XBoxOne, OneDrive, CEIP, Bing Rewards, "apps", Store, etc.
    I thought Custom Install would satisfy most Off switches. I'm still finding a lot of Settings needing Off.

    I thought W8.1 was bloated. W10 is bloated++.
    P.S. what's with the blah W10 theme....
    Thanks in advance

    I see this thread is now solved.
    Did Shawn's tutorial work for you, and everything is ok ?
