I can't remember when Windows introduced those "applets" that are so
inconvenient to use. It's been a long time, though, and Microsoft still
hasn't managed to improve them to a level that's expected from "normal"
software.
In other operating systems, the solution is simple. If a program is a
piece of crap and you can't imagine ever wanting to use it, you delete
it. Microsoft has discovered a way to stop you from deleting the crap.
There's some very annoying stuff in Windows 10 that I can't manage to
suppress. Even if I manage to delete it, it will reappear in the next
update.
I presume that the updates will stop after some end-of-life date, but
why keep torturing us until then?
