unintentional installs
 

I have just done the latest Win 10 1803 update on my wife's laptop. In the list of installed programs I found Bubble Witch Saga, Candy Crush Saga, a Disney program and one other Dungeons & Dragons type of program.


She is absolutely adamant that she has not downloaded or installed any of these, got rather angry when I mentioned it.:(

She is not the best when it comes to tech so how can she have done this without knowing?

Re: unintentional installs
 

Easy, if downloading or installing anything she may have not "unticked" the boxes.

Same old, same old. Read what's in front of you.

I wish you could tell her that.;)

Anyone who has stayed married for over 40 years will know just how hard it is to tell a woman anything they don't want to hear.:rolleyes:

She insists she hasn't done it but they are all there, or were until I deleted them all.:)

Not sure if it is related but the strange pop up I thought was caused by the Win 10 update has now gone???

Re: unintentional installs
 

I think they are related to Facebook? Nothing to do with Microsoft or Windows.

Re: unintentional installs
 

I have learned over many years a man cannot tell a woman anything, just move on and accept it.

Re: unintentional installs
 

I know, she doesn't even have a Facebook account and only reads the local Facebook community pages.

I think I am going to have to do a weekly audit on her PC from now on.:)

These games come as standard on Windows 10.

???
Nothing like that on my PC and not on her laptop a few weeks ago.

Re: unintentional installs
 

Nor on mine neither.

Re: unintentional installs
 

Candy Crush has come pre installed on windows 10 in the past unless they back tracked on it, i also can't find it on my PC.

No boxes to untick. It's the automatic Win 10 updates.

Bloatware sucks.
