“Do not install any third-party software on Windows 10 PCs”

It's a well-known fact that many OEMs and retailers across the world are shipping Windows computers, no matter the OS version installed, with lots of useless software solutions that do nothing more than to slow down the PCs themselves and to create additional issues.

Anti-virus apps, word processors, toolbars, and other additional software tools that aren't specifically requested by users are all installed on these computers, so it takes time and effort for users to remove them completely.

And yet, this has to end in Windows 10, users claim in a new suggestion on UserVoice, as Microsoft needs to work with OEMs to avoid installing unnecessary software on computers powered by this new operating system.

Make people love Windows

Satya Nadella said at the January 21 event last month that Microsoft wanted users to love Windows, and that's exactly what those who posted on UserVoice claim they hope to happen without bloatware.

“If you are serious about getting people to love Windows and not be forced to use it then you should stop allowing the Windows user experienced to be ruined,” the original post reads.

“Crapwares and bloatwares were a way for OEMs to get money because they felt they were paying to much for Windows. It is clearly not the case anymore and they should be prevented to provide any additional software on top of Windows.”

In most of the cases, these unnecessary apps were installed to generate additional revenues for OEMS and retailers, but little is known about how many users actually keep these software solutions on their devices after purchasing them.

Obviously, many rush to remove them, but very often beginners and those who do not have the time to remove these apps prefer to keep them running all the time. Needless to say, this also has an impact on system performance and stability, so it's easy to see why some think that Windows is slow and unreliable as compared to other operating system that are delivered with no bloatware.
