Windows 10 Rant

How can I delete Skype from Windows 10? Google fucking useless.

I cannot believe people put up with this spying forcing me to allow access to Contact address book and verify phone number to use this uninstallable shite.

Rant over./

click on start, scroll down to skype, right click, uninstall.

Or

open control panel, go to programs and features, locate skype, right click select delete.

Is that really so difficult?

Can also just disable access to contacts in the settings. Wasn't hard to do either.
When installing the store app it even ask about these privacy things.

This guy gives good info on how to get shit actually uninstalled from Windows 10 (not just removal of shortcuts). Its like walking through fire, but this vid will help you.



https://youtu.be/gnAzCnbDNr8

I have never had to fight with an operating system to get it to do what I want, like I've had to fight with Windows 10. Hell, Windows 10 even fucks with my BIOS settings after I set it up the way I want.

Gaming is the only reason I haven't low-level formatted that shit (pre-installed). And even then, Windows 10 has still infected the BIOS.

Good luck.

Android is the same Google is the villain there.

I am upset that Ubuntu gave up on creating a good tablet/smartphone OS -- too many hardware proprietary sub systems I suppose.

Thanks, right click uninstall sure helped.

Just shows how bad google is these days that it could not give me this simple answer.
