Yes, you can uninstall them with CCleaner. I only left the calculator as you can see in my screenshot.

Enjoy your google botnet

Speaking of Groove...

I have been using it as my music player and twice my computer has frozen while it was in use, and only when it was in use. It could be coincidence but I'm just saying...

Aside from that it's a pretty cool music player.

I uninstalled it a couple of hours ago. I switched to Chromium on Linux.

Well, looks like something is deeply fucked with Groove on my system, since opening the "tools" in CCleaner makes it crash immediately. Even viewing Groove in the Microsoft app store makes it crash.

do you have by any chance the windows event logging service disabled?

Chromium is the same botnet. Opensource doesn't mean it doesn't spy.

>Anyone know a reliable way to disable default Windows 10 apps?

Couple of options:

1) If you are running Enterprise or Education, in group policy editor (gpedit.msc) you go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Shop (or Windows Shop, I dont use english version right now) and select "disable all apps from Windows Store" or how its called in english. Disables both Shop and all default apps

2) Run PowerShell, type

>get-appxpackage

to get a list of app packages that are currently installed in your system. To search for certain apps, add its name like

>get-appxpackage *groove*

When you find the one you want to remove, copy its full name, type

>remove-appxpackage "full name of your package"

without "". Can be easily made into script to run everytime you might need it. Thats because every major update (like Anniversary or incoming Creator) will bring back part of those apps (while it never brought backGroove for me, it did brought back that card game and another one, forgot the name).

You might try to remove those packages from image by removing them from list of "provisioned" packages (that will be automatically installed to every new user), but tweaking with it screw over sysprep function (unless you plan to never use it anyway but still). If you want to do it anyway, the commands are

>get-appxprovisionedpackage -online
>remove-appxprovisionedpackage -packagename "name of your package -online

Those commands require administrator rights. The parameter -online makes it read and change list of your currently running OS. Note that this list will also be "updated" after major update. Normal updates dont change anything, tho.

I suggest to run PowerShell ISE to make it easier.

3) CCleaner or similar program.

Cant recall other options.

I gave up on security until a sensible solution is developed other than email encryption. I only use open source software because everything else I now use is open source and so it fits well along those line. Also, the name Chromium sounds nice.
