Remove boatware and unnecessary software easily
lol remove unnecessary apps, check your PC for anything suspicious, if you need to delete unwanted software, you can handle it yourself. Just read what you're installing instead of skipping through it. I updated Java a few weeks back and asked whether I wanted to set up Yahoo or Ask, or install something new—then I said no. Probably you should uninstall the ASUS stuff, maybe Microsoft Silverlight, and paint.net too. What’s that? Edit : @Paint.Net, got it. Also, why do you have Nvidia and AMD drivers, or specifically AMD Catalyst? Are you really using the Windows Live Marketplace or something similar?
Is it a laptop or a pre-assembled desktop? If it's the latter, simply reformat it. Otherwise, I can help remove unnecessary software using this tool: http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/home. For a brand-new custom-built setup, only install hardware drivers—skip the software that comes with the motherboard unless necessary. Uninstall ASUS programs, as they often don’t work well. You might also try http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_unin...nload.html for a free scan of hidden apps. Be careful with registry changes when using Revo; double-check what you’re deleting. Lastly, always back up your system on an external drive before making major changes.
Anything unused is fine. You likely don’t need most Asus programs. Microsoft Games aren’t essential unless you use them; otherwise, remove them. Eliminate all extra Visual C++ Redistributables—keep only the latest one. Avoid Catalyst and NVidia if your card supports better options. After that, stick to software you actually use. Windows lets you organize by size, so uninstall by usage. Usually, games or Office are top priorities; check what comes next.
Paint.net is an image editing tool I rely on. Cheap options are the top picks (though not exactly like Photoshop).
Unnecessary queries often lead to unhelpful answers. There are no experts here who understand the software you’re using. I can’t provide guidance from just an image. What I suggest is removing any unused programs and consider a clean Windows setup for simplicity.
