    Unwanted Apps install automatically again


    I thought this issue had been dealt with months ago, but today the following just keep installing themselves automatically again. If I uninstall them, they will re-install after 10-20 minutes:

    Bubble Witch 3 Saga
    Candy Crush Soda Saga
    Disney Magic Kingdoms
    Dolby Access
    March of Empires: War of Lords
    News
    Sketchbook
    Spotify

    WTF Microsoft? Any ideas guys please? I'm on the latest 1709 stable.

    Try these:

    Turn Off Automatic Installation of Suggested Apps in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials

    Turn On or Off Automatic Updates for Apps in Windows 10 Store | Windows 10 Tutorials


    I'm not expert on the subject since I keep store updates disabled and run manual checks if needed.

    Thank you Callender. The first option was set properly but today Windows simply ignores it. About the second option on the updates, I'm not sure how it could help since on the first manual update I guess it will go ahead and install them. I'll try it though. Also trying the last suggestion by TairikuOkami here.

    The CMD in TairikuOkami's post seems to hold for now.
