Windows 10 Anniversary Update
- Thread starter Cosimo
- Start date
.
Should I be afraid of being woken up tomorrow by the dulcet tones of Cortana.
(well I suppose that will indicate the update has worked and the computer has not locked up, but alternatively, maybe I should disconnect win 10 boot from the internet for a few days just to see if it is safe )

So other than the new features what nasties await us.
Until they added the unhideable all apps list I was starting to like the start menu, shame it is totally lacking in things like group management functions but still. But like most things in 10 great idea in principle but they manage to screw up the simplest fundamental aspects of the implementation.
The start menu in 10 is at least an actual menu, rubbish or not, so it has that going for it over 8/8.1.
They could have done much better, however, if they'd made the notification center be the live tile section and simply given us the proper menu we all actually want, that way the people who want to use the new stuff easily still can, and those that don't get better functionality. Essentially it'd be like having a start menu at either end of the taskbar.
As it stands, I'll stick to using StartIsBack like I have been since I migrated from 7.

If like me you don't use the apps, uninstall them with MSMG Toolkit.
That doesn't solve it.
It will be a slow release. I hear the Surface devices are most likely to get it first.
Nothing will solve it for you.
If ms involved you in development and you got to design it exactly how you wanted it, you would still be here making its very clear you don't approve.... It's been a year already, let it go!
Rroff, llamadal - when you say MSMG does not get rid of apps.
[I had used equivalent Get-AppxPackage -Name 'king.com.CandyCrushSodaSaga' | Remove-AppxPackage strategy]
you mean it does not get rid of sultana too (integrated apps) ? can you summarise limitation ?

I'm not hating for hating's sake and it doesn't matter if it is 2 years ago or 10 years from now I'm still going to call a spade a spade. I've worked in software development and always strived to create as flexible design as possible (when not programming for my own amusement).
What I was saying above is that even if you remove all apps it doesn't hide the all apps list from the start menu - it still lists Windows system components and Win32 entries, etc. his suggestion doesn't solve what I'm complaining about. (It is also one of the top entries in the feedback hub so I'm far from alone on that).
