According to a report this morning by TheVerge.com's senior news editor, Microsoft once again is forcing Windows 10 restarts to install ' Unsolicited, Unwanted' Office Apps without permission. He reports that Windows 10 restarted to install " ..unsolicited, unwanted web app versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook onto my computer..Going on he writes, "OK, it's not as bad as when my entire computer screen got taken over by an unwanted copy of Microsoft Edge. That was truly egregious. No, this time Microsoft is merely sneaking unwanted web apps onto my PC — and using my Windows 10 Start Menu as free advertising space. Did I mention that icons for Microsoft Office apps have magically appeared in my Start Menu, even though I've never once installed Office on this computer?
"These aren't full free copies of Office, by the way. They're just shortcuts to the web version you could already access in any web browser of your choice, which double as advertisements to pay for a more fully featured copy... They're the latest proof that Microsoft doesn't respect your ownership of your own PC, the latest example of Microsoft installing anything it likes in a Windows update up to and including bloatware, ....."Full article HERE.. Any of our group who find themselves similarly targeted by Microsoft with the sudden installation of " unsolicited, unwanted Office Apps," who are tired of being slaves to MS and want to OPT OUT of these ' we own your computer, you don't - and we'll do what we want with it whenever we want' strong arm tactics Microsoft uses, the way forward to PC freedom, where you call the shots with your own computer and MS has no say in anything you do, has never been easier or more accessible than it is today!
..I'd rather have questions I can't answer, than answers I can't question.. Dr. Phil
