Candy Crush and McAfee....really Microsoft??




And when that screenshot was taken, it did not actually finish downloading all the adware yet. Normally at the end of a (non-business) Windows install you have around 6 adware programs, depending on the region. Disney+, multiple "games", etc.


Also Paint3D which no one used ever?

They just completely stopped caring and anyone who has an idea for a quick buck or markering stunt seems to be allowed to put their shit into Windows or slap the Microsoft logo on it.


That's literally the experience that you get when you buy a new computer with Windows.
