Why does Microsoft install Apps on a local account?
I have clean installed build 9626 more than once on a desktop computer and have booted many times. I use a local account only which is an option in the installation if you scroll down on the page where a new account can be established with Microsoft you will see use a local account, not reccomended. The installation installs Apps that won't work with a local account. Why is that? The other problem I've had is a dead start menu, Action Center and Cortana. I don't care about or want Cortana. I know there is a registry hack to bring back the previous Start Menu.
I have installed build 9926 with a Microsoft account and everything was rosy but I don't want to logon to Microsoft and I don't want the Apps. I would like an option during installation that asks if I'm going to use a local account only and then eliminate installing Apps and Cortana. At this point I don't even care how the Start Menu is organized as long as it works.
I realize I am going against the grain but I think most companies will agree with me. The desktop computer when used as a tool to get work done doesn't need the added bling that Microsoft has thrown in on their Windows software. I am all for anyone who wants the extras but please make an option to leave it out.
