gosh, if only.
Personally, I can’t wait for
Sadly they only removed them from fresh installs not updates. The apps are still available in the store for anyone that wants them as well.
I’d love less crap preinstalled on windows. First thing I do is run a powershell script to basically uninstall all the store apps (even ones you can’t normally uninstall using the add/remove UI). Love to see the Xbox stuff gone. Removing it and having it not throw errors on game launches was a bit of a pain.
It’s just so much junk…
Waaaait a minute, there was maps, movies, and TV?
I'm as shocked as you are.
Nice! It they start getting rid of all the other clutter / bloatware, I may change my mind and I will keep one Windows installation.
How did you not mention in-fucking-OS ads
I haven't seen those.
Can you turn them off? If so I likely did that already lol
Edit: just googled it you can turn them off. I must have done it as soon as I got 11. Still a PITA
this innovation only applies to early Windows Insiders testing participants
Innovation.
What a non news.
That's a few less lines in my Windows install PowerShell script.
Get-AppxPackage zunevideo | Remove-AppxPackage | Out-Null
And now some Linux users will unironically state that they don't have to run any scripts on a fresh install...
