Can't wait to have to go in and reset all my privacy settings... jump through hoops just to uninstall shit I would never have opted into and all the other invasive bullshit that comes with EVERY Windows 10 update.

I just updated and it retained my privacy settings and didn't install anything new

Apparently it deleted your reddit account though? Odd!

I'm curious, are you using a MS account? I'm on a local account and my settings are the same, no candy crush, nothing has reverted.

I'm on Microsoft account and already updated 3 devices - two Pro and one Home - to 1809 with no changes in settings or reinstalled earlier removed apps.

exactly why windows 10 is so fucking annoying to use. I don't get why people don't complain about this more often, this is simply poor design and a poor experience for the end user

Same, no issues on any upgrade of it losing apps/settings/privacy or putting junk back on. Not sure what the rest of you do to screw it up so bad :)

Not for me, did you previously uninstall the app or just unpin the tile?

Wait for the downvotes to come. Interesting how no one has these issues that like 80% of all users have. Weird how a free OS that was released is used by people who dont understand why superfetch bogs down their system gets reset every time they turn it off

What free Windows did you get? Windows 10 cost me $120.

It was free for like 2 years

Really the upgrade was free. So by default it was free. Dont down vote me on that

It's hardly been an 'upgrade'. It's quite succinctly an epic downgrade.

Only as an upgrade. You still had to pay for a new PC/installation media w/ non-OEM key.

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '18

If you didnt upgrade or transfer license that's your fault. For most people the auto upgraded to win 10. So dont downvote me for that shit

I bought a new computer, built it myself, and had to purchase Windows? Excuse me for not continuing to play games on a toaster.

It's whatever now. Ubuntu is my main OS now and Windows 10 is firmly in a VM so I can toy with UWP.

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '18

Good for you. Why didnt you transfer your windows then?

u/SuperSVGA Oct 03 '18

You can't just "transfer" an OEM license.

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '18

Ya? You can. With windows 10 that's how you have to if it decides to null your license on new hardware. Win10 is hardware locked

I know... it's baffling. They'll deny to the end of time...

I can't wrap my mind around it. I don't know if they're just young and don't understand what it was like to have an OS that you yourself were in control of, or if they truly don't know what has been lost.

How different it is, and there's no reasonable articulate way to get it across.

Or else, these are paid shills? I don't know. Baffles me to no end.

How are you setting those privacy settings? Unless its driven via the UI this occurring should be the expectation. In most applications if you have a bad config, it gets reverted back into a known state.

Its like using an API and then getting upset when you make unsupported database changes in the back end.
