   I can't remember when Windows introduced those "applets" that are so   
   inconvenient to use. It's been a long time, though, and Microsoft still   
   hasn't managed to improve them to a level that's expected from "normal"   
   software.   
      
   In other operating systems, the solution is simple. If a program is a   
   piece of crap and you can't imagine ever wanting to use it, you delete   
   it. Microsoft has discovered a way to stop you from deleting the crap.   
   There's some very annoying stuff in Windows 10 that I can't manage to   
   suppress. Even if I manage to delete it, it will reappear in the next   
   update.   
      
   I presume that the updates will stop after some end-of-life date, but   
   why keep torturing us until then?
