(I'll try to make this as funny as it got me angry to avoid throwing a brick at my desktop) "Really, Microsoft? I paid 100$ or more for a W8 Pro version, I upgraded it to Windows 10 after you constantly telling me please, I even let you get some obscur telemetry I can't disable, and now I reinstall Windows and I have "ads" in the start menu I have to remove one by one? (that's the standard part) And now after a few reboots, some DUMB GAMES INSTALLED THEMSELVES after I cleaned up the start menu? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Would a 6 year old who wants to play Candy Crush have a 1200$ gaming rig for it? Get your shit together Microsoft. Get money elsewhere. Isn't paying your stupid, mandatory OS enough?" Well you get the idea: W10 updated somehow after a fresh install and added games to my start menu. How do I prevent that from happening? Also if you have some other useful post-install tips I'm taking
I recall seeing a video a while ago that showed the steps... I lost track of how to do it... I need to look for the video now.
It's a very bold hue that can render the text hard to read and might annoy many on the forum. This isn't meant as a personal attack, just a note for improvement. Cheers!
I understand you're experiencing difficulty with the blue text in the dark mode. It seems the current color isn't clear enough for readability. You mentioned trying to adjust the text selection, which is a good approach. Let me know if you'd like help finding a better contrast setting or alternative solutions.
Microsoft aims to encourage developers to promote new applications through their Store, hoping to make UWP (Universal Apps) functional across all Windows 10 devices—desktops, laptops, tablets, convertibles, mobile (Windows 10 Mobile), Xbox One, HoloLens, IoT, and potentially more in the future. To achieve this, they must demonstrate ways for developers to attract users to the Store and boost app downloads. There are two main approaches: placing ads on the Start Menu with limited selection options, and featuring suggested apps directly on the Start Menu. Third-party applications added here are not installed; they appear as pinned shortcuts that launch when clicked, allowing users to stream or download content. UWP ensures these apps run in a fully sandboxed environment, leaving no trace after removal. To manage them, right-click unwanted entries and choose uninstall, or unpin if unavailable. For suggestions, adjust settings under Start > Settings > Personalization > Start, turning off "Occasionally show suggestions on Start" and, via the Settings home page, disabling "Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows." This reduces unnecessary notifications for experienced users.
