    Windows 10 useless apps


    Hello! Can anyone make me a list of apps and programs that come pre-installed with Windows 10 and always that are useless/just dont make any sense and just slow up your pc? For example I was running Task Manager and found out I was running Skype but couldn't see it anywhere plus I just dont want it. So I want a list and how to disable them, can anyone help me out? Thanks a lot!

    Hello Juggerdog,

    Also use Autoruns to see what third party stuff is loading at boot and uninstall / disable stuff you don't want.

    Most of these app are designed and setup to run in the background. Under settings, Privacy, then scroll down till you see background apps, click it and then turn off what app you want to quit running in the background.

    Hi folks
    most sensible App on Windows is the ability to right mouse click on any of the stupid "Bloat" apps and tiles and choose UNINSTALL.

    IMO a "Professional" edition of an OS shouldn't have all that garbage installed.

    cheers
