> lot of these can be done with O&O

O&O AppBuster is good stuff. I used it all the time. I only transitioned to my own lists because of how often I decrapify customer machines.



> because of how often I decrapify customer machines.

In the last month or so, one of the recent crap-loaded Win10 updates reinstalled the crapware after a reboot. Usually twice.

As in: WU, clean, reboot. Login and the apps are back. Clean again, reboot. After 5 minutes the apps reinstall again. Clean, reboot.

I had this happen on about 8 systems - about half of the ones I updated. These were clean installs and established systems.

I discovered this by accident. I normally don't reboot.


ShutUp10 does have a toggle to prevent automated app installs, sometimes on a major windows feature update I'll see 1-2 new apps show up, but overall it stops a lot of the crud.
