The time and effort you spend removing these programs will have no practical benefits, and Microsoft may well reinstall them with every operating system upgrade, which is twice a year, if not before. However, on a Surface Pro 4, removing the Microsoft apps is not going to save a significant amount of space, nor is it going to make the slightest difference to performance. It’s even more of a problem with Google Android, which I use, so I understand the annoyance. Would it work for these? TonyĮvery operating system includes features that some people don’t like or need. I noticed that one of the Windows 10 tuners you reviewed last week “removes unwanted programs”. I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 4, which has plenty of features I don’t need, and I hate Cortana, Edge, Xbox, Groove etc.
