“Windows Backup” was also installed of course but I’ll be ignoring it in the same way as I’ve done for the other PC I updated yesterday. Updated PC1 in my signature with no problems so far. I’ll update PC1 tomorrow and see how that goes. I also updated my browsers (Edge and Firefox) and checked to make sure no more useless bloat had been added and turned on by default – especially Edge – and I’ve now locked down Windows and the two browsers until next month. I also removed the useless (to me, at least) Microsoft Update Health Tools which had made yet another reappearance with this month’s updates (wonder how long it will be before that becomes impossible to remove?). I always remove OneDrive and most of the other bloat (XBox, etc.) after a clean install of Windows. I also checked to make sure OneDrive hadn’t “magically” reappeared (it hadn’t). And I’ll probably need to check from time to time to make sure it stays disabled. I guess “Windows Backup” will just have to be something else to ignore until someone finds a way to get rid of it – after I disabled the service which was set to Manual. I really wish Microsoft would stop doing that. However, I notice “Windows Backup” has been added to the Start Menu and it seems to be impossible to remove, just like the Settings icon in Windows 10 and the Get Started icon in Windows 11. I went back to Windows 10 from Windows 11 on both PC’s about a month ago, by the way. Updated PC2 in my signature, Windows 10 Home (after making a Macrium Reflect backup, of course).
