    How is it better?

    The disk access has reduced massively since i tweaked everything.

    When i first installed win10 it always seemed to be accessing the disk for some reason or other. And this was after all the downloads so not that.

    I am another that dumped cortana, MS store, and disable a whole load of services mostly via spybot anti beacon and shutup10.

    Why not use file manager and look if is in one of the two Program Files directories, or look in uninstall to see if is there too?

    @pmartin86
    Tend to agree with you.
    It's a lot quicker and easier to run through all the options on Windows 10 compared to setting up a new Android phone with 3 non-connected Google accounts.
    Guess what I've been doing this afternoon? :)
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Hehe, so glad to see asomeone agree with me, im so sick of "fixing" machines from paranoid people whos main issues are caused by their instatnace on listening to little jimmy down the groad who once read a reddit post on how MS is evil and wated to steal all our stuff and thus we should block it all, at all times without questioning it!

    Also, presumably, youve been configuring iPhones? :p

    Ediut: Just as an afterthought, my sarcasm doesnt always carry well on 'tinternet...Do you manage phones long term or just happen to ahve 3 one offs? Might be worht looking at some MDM solutions if its semi-frequent, saves a lot of faff!

    Its not fixing machines and being paraoid its about constant disk access thats totally unnecessary.

    Bad enough when updates say do not turn off your PC just as i need to restart it quickly.
