Windows 10, bless it, arrives packing plenty of annoying bloatware. Some of it you can uninstall; a few you can't (cough Your Telephone cough). And though the operating system feels like it has gotten somewhat better about this over the years, you're still going to need to use a third party app if you want a cleaner Windows 10 encounter.
Among them, Bloatbox, that began as an extension to the popular privacy-themed Spydish program for Windows 10, lately split off into its own tiny, portable app. And that is one of those features I most love about it so much: it's small and you don't even have to install it on yoursystem. You can just run it as-is to start cleaning up any routine Windows 10 installation.
Unzip the download and you'll get one executable to run. That's it. Here Is What you will see:
The left side of the program displays your installed Windows 10 programs, which comprises both the ones you put there and the ones Microsoft place there in your behalf. It is not great in terms of how the apps are called, which means you'll need to do a little digging to find everything that amuses you.
Additionally know that whole-scale eradication of a bunch of apps might clean up your Start menu, but it might also lead to some amount of system uncertainty if you force-delete a program that Windows prefers to have around for whatever reason. Consider a casual warning that you may want to produce a System Restore Point, at minimum, if not a full backup (or clone!) Before you begin deleting a ton of normally unremovable apps.
Once you're sure you're prepared, add whatever apps you need to ditch into the"Remove apps" facet of Bloatbox and click the"Uninstall" button.
The one thing you need to do is to perform netsh winsock reset in windows 10 to fix your network issues after installing bloatware.
