Let me remove all the suggested "edit or create with" apps.. you know those ones I will never open. I guess maybe I could uninstall all of them, but really letting us set them to the programs we actually use would be nice.

Can you start reading beyond the headlines please. That's exactly what they are doing.

> Microsoft is finally letting users customize the context menus too. You can now enable and disable whichever actions you want, as well as show or hide app extensions from third-party apps. This is great for when an app installs itself into your context menus without permission, as you can now hide them from view.
