CAN YOU LEARN TO LIVE WITH DEFAULT APPS?

Windows Update can’t force you to love your default apps, but it can force them to stay on your computer. So should you just learn to live with them? That’s what you’ve been doing for years with the default apps on your iPad, iPhone and Android tablet and phone, after all.

Android lets you uninstall updates and roll back to the original version of a default app (such as Google) and clear its cache and data, but you can’t remove the app itself. Apple’s iOS lets you do barely anything to its pre-installed Apple apps. Yo u can’t even remove the icons from your screen.

By contrast, Windows 10’s pre-installed (and now re-installed) apps take up very little space relative to hard-drive size, and their effect on your PC’s performance is minimal.

So while Windows Update deserves a slap for putting back apps you didn’t want, ultimately it’s not a war worth fighting. On your fast, flexible Windows 10 PC, they do very little harm – and one day you may even find one of them useful.
