This experience has caused frustration in the Windows 10 user community, and many accused Microsoft of forcing some apps on them in order to make them more widely used.Īnd while there’s no indication this is indeed the case, starting with Windows 10 version 1803, Microsoft is giving users the power to prevent feature updates from reinstalling removed apps when deploying feature updates (like Windows 10 version 1809, also called October 2018 Update). If you’re one of the early Windows 10 adopters, you probably know that the operating system sometimes keeps reinstalling the apps that you removed for no clear reason.
