Window Apps

[BobArch2]

I have about 40+ Window Apps, most of which I do not want nor need. Almost on a daily basis, updates to the Apps are automatically downloaded and installed.

Question: In your experience, If I Uninstall the unwanted Apps, will a subsequent auto-update reinstall the deleted Apps? I do understand that some Apps like Contacts and Cortana cannot be uninstalled. I can live with those.

Since I use "Classic Shell" I do not have that problem.

I do not think I have used any of the "Apps" as they are called.

Hi Bob,

I have no experience with Win10...so I'm providing this advice blindly. However, maybe you can learn something from these to web pages. I read through the thread on how to keep Win 10 from reinstalling removed apps and the comments imply some success or non at all. Sound a bit volatile!

Good luck if you follow through with this.

The apps will not be reinstalled in normal day to day activity. A subsequent major update to Windows 10 such as the Anniversary update due this summer will likely reinstate all the apps.

Note: if you are a Windows Insider installing preview builds, especially in the fast ring, you'll get major updates frequently.
