There are plenty of redundant apps (depending on your usage) - I never use any of them!
I understand with the CU that once uninstalled, they stay uninstalled even after an upgrade (like the CU) or an in-place upgrade repair install. Formerly that was not so.

I own an XBOX and use that APP. But I still disagree with making it un installable. People shouldn't have to be forced to use powershell etc to remove the bloat. There are other apps as well, that like you, I don't use and will likely never use. And as far as I can see are not integral to the running of Windows 10. So why no un install option? I don't get it?

I guess it's all about MS trying to impose uniformity across a range of devices and device types, so users move between them and have exactly the same experience- never mind syncing..

Of course the next step would be to divorce the OS from user data and installed programs completely- no hacking, no reg edits, - and a more robust structure with nothing the user installs appearing in OS folders. But that's a huge architectural change. It would reduce the forum workload though.

A lot of those apps just add clutter you have to sift through to find what you want. I do use Apps, I just don't like having ones I don't use in my face.

Fair enough.. as I use Classic Shell start menu, apps are (optionally) in one folder which I don't have to look at.

@jshaw42 - good, that was an easy one.
