In the latest test build of Windows 10 Anniversary Update released last week, Microsoft has introduced a tool that allows users to get rid of bloatware and crapware with one fell swoop.

    Hi Ernie303
     
    To be part of the Insider Program requires you to sign into your PC with a Microsoft account, NOT a local user account. Also, that Microsoft account must also be part of the Windows Insider program.
     
     
    Please see this MS article on how to join, and bear in mind that the Insider Preview is effectively a beta and so you should take the relavent precautions before installing the software on anything other than a dedicated testing PC or VM.
