Hi all,

Using Windows 10 creators edition, 1709 and jaws 18.

Folks, there are 29 apps, 29, that I found that I don't use, and won't 
use, and when I try to press delete when I am on one of them in the apps 
list, it doesn't give me the option to delete them.

Here they are:

1. on screen keyboard--I have my own keyboard, I don't need it.

2. Xbox, I don't play that game, and won't.

3. xps viewer--I don't use that, as far as I know.

4. steps recorder--I don't need that.

5. snipping tool--I don't snip anything.

6. movies and tv--I don't watch tv, and I don't watch movies. The only 
videos I watch are on you tube.

7. print 3d--I don't do any 3d printing.

8. note pad--I will never use it, I use word pad.

9. paint--I don't paint.

10. math input pannel--I don't use it, I only use calculator.

11. weather--I don't use it, all it gives you is your local weather 
forecast.

12. twitter--I don't use it, I don't use  social media!

13. sticky notes--I've never used that, and I would be opened to using 
it, if someone would tell me why I need it, and show me how to use it. 
Right now, I'm not using it, and it's taking up space and system 
resources, as the other 28 apps are taking up.

14. photos--I don't take them, and will never use it.

15. paint 3d--I don't paint, so won't use it.

16. one note--I don't use it. All it is is an app, and I would have to 
launch it, then go in and find my notes, takes too much time.

17. news--I don't use it. I get my news from other sources.

18. mind craft--I'm not a gamer.

19. Microsoft Solitar, I don't play it.

20. march over warlords--I don't play it.

21. maps--I don't use them.

22. mail--I don't use it, I use Thunderbird.

23. groove music--I don't use it. Maybe I would, if someone tells me why 
it's so good, been using windows media player for years, and now, using 
Studio Recorder, that lets me listen to files, and record files, and 
edit files.

24. get office--I will not use office, because I don't use Excel, and I 
don't use, and won't use Word, because it kept skipping pages in 
documents, and it would never stop, so I got rid of office.

25. face book--same as Twitter above.

26. candy crush soda sauga--a game, I don't play games on the computer.

27. camera--I don't use it.

28. calender--I don't use it.

29. alarms--I don't use alarms, but I do use the clock.

So, there you have it. If Microsoft would let the user delete apps they 
don't need, our computers would be super fast, and the bootup  time 
would be instant.

If there are any apps I mentioned that I should not get rid of, let me 
know. But if not, I would *LOVE* to delete all of these 29 apps!
