从第一个版本开始，Windows 10总是捆绑微软(Microsoft)希望我们使用的应用程序，即使我们有其他想法。这些应用程序是所谓的臃肿软件：我们不想要或不需要的软件，但预装在所有Windows 10计算机和设备上。不幸的是，无论是在新旧 PC 和设备上，每次安装Windows 10时都会发现不止几个这样的应用程序。如果您使用的是最新版本的Windows 10 ，您可能会发现以下内容：
微软(Microsoft)默认捆绑 Windows 10 膨胀软件
Windows 10捆绑了很多不需要的应用程序。为了更清楚地了解您从Microsoft(Microsoft)获得了多少英国媒体报道软件，我们决定安装一个干净的Windows 10 操作系统(operating system)，并编制一份运行良好不需要的所有应用程序的列表。正如您在下面看到的，该列表很长，包括第三方应用程序和(apps and apps)Microsoft开发的应用程序。
以下是您在2019 年 5 月(May 2019)更新的Windows 10中获得的英国媒体报道软件列表：
-
3D 查看器(3D Viewer)- 当您想要查看 3D 模型以进行 3D 打印或查看 3D 动画以获取混合现实(Mixed reality)体验时，该应用程序非常有用。大多数 Windows 10 用户永远不需要这个应用程序。
-
帝国时代：围攻城堡——(Age of Empires: Castle Siege)微软(Microsoft)开发的一款平庸的游戏。它可以让您在中世纪(Medieval Era)统治您的帝国。它以几个文明为特色，包括英国人(Britons)、条顿(Teutons)人和基辅罗斯(Kievan Rus)。
-
Asphalt 8: Airborne - 一款具有精美视觉效果和多种游戏模式的赛车游戏，您可以在其中遇到并驾驶法拉利(Ferrari)、兰博基尼(Lamborghini)、迈凯轮(McLaren)、布加迪(Bugatti)等制造商的高速赛车。
-
Bubble Witch 3 Saga - 让你射出泡泡来打败邪恶。这是一款老少皆宜的游戏，但对于许多用户来说也是过时的软件。
-
Candy Crush Friends Saga - 由(Candy Crush Friends Saga)Candy Crush Soda Saga 和 Farm Heroes Saga(Candy Crush Soda Saga and Farm Heroes Saga)的开发者创建的流行游戏。游戏是关于饼干和糖果的，以及关于切换和匹配它们的游戏。
-
Candy Crush Saga - 又一个Candy Crush游戏，具有不同的视觉效果和略有不同的游戏玩法。
-
FarmVille 2: Country Escape - 你还记得FarmVille吗？这是它的下一个迭代：一个游戏，你进入一个农业、收获和饲养动物的世界。
-
Fitbit Coach - 一款健身应用程序(fitness app)，旨在为您提供个性化的训练，让您在追求更健康的生活方式和更强壮的身体时保持动力。这个应用程序的一个问题是它的免费内容有限，要使用它，你必须付费订阅。此外，即使是Fitbit用户也可能不希望在他们的 PC 上使用它，而是更喜欢在智能手机上使用这个应用程序。
-
Gardenscapes - 一款游戏，您的主要目的是让花园恢复昔日的辉煌。
-
Microsoft News - 是由Microsoft开发的应用程序，旨在为您提供您所在地区的最新消息。除其他外，您还可以从华盛顿邮报(Washington Post)、CNN、纽约时报(New York Times)等顶级新闻提供商那里获得精选新闻。

-
混合现实门户(Mixed Reality Portal)- 仅适用于拥有虚拟现实耳机(reality headset)或HoloLens以及功能强大到足以运行混合现实体验的计算机的Windows 10用户。(Windows 10)此应用程序应已在Microsoft Store中提供，并且未预装在大多数Windows 10电脑上。
-
Phototastic Collage - 让您可以使用照片创建具有现代或经典设计的拼贴画。
-
PicsArt Photo Studio: Collage Maker 和 Pic Editor(PicsArt Photo Studio: Collage Maker and Pic Editor) - 包括一个照片编辑器(photo editor)和一个拼贴制作器(collage maker)，让您可以使用效果、剪贴画、贴纸和其他绘图工具来编辑和风格化您的照片。
-
打印 3D(Print 3D) - 此应用程序仅对拥有 3D 打印机的人有用，用于准备打印 3D 对象。由于这是一个小众市场(niche market)，大多数Windows 10用户都不需要它，而这个应用程序应该已经放在Microsoft Store中，以便需要它的人下载和使用它。
-
Seekers Notes: Hidden Mystery - 经典的隐藏物品类型的游戏，需要您花费能量点来玩场景和谜题。
-
体育(Sports)- 该应用程序类似于Microsoft 新闻(Microsoft News)。它旨在仅显示与体育相关的新闻，仅对来自少数国家的体育迷有用。它的数据库不包括来自世界各地的体育新闻和数据，仅来自美国、(news and data)加拿大(Canada)、德国(Germany)、西班牙(Spain)等大国。
-
The Secret Society: Hidden Mystery - 另一个隐藏物品游戏，你在其中拥有特殊的力量，你是唯一能找到你亲爱的理查德叔叔(Uncle Richard)的人。
-
Twitter - 流行的(Twitter)Twitter社交网络的官方应用程序。如果您有Twitter 帐户并且更喜欢(Twitter account and prefer)使用应用程序连接到它，而不是使用Web 浏览器(web browser)，这将非常有用。
如您所见，上面的列表包括许多休闲游戏。他们可以免费玩，但也提供付费升级和选项。最有可能的是，微软(Microsoft)通过为这些游戏提供大量安装以及游戏内购买的佣金来赚钱。
它不止于此。Windows 10 PC 和设备制造商添加了更多英国媒体报道
不幸的是，上面的列表只涵盖了微软(Microsoft)倾向于默认安装在Windows 10中的过时软件。该列表得到了Windows 10 PC 和设备制造商的扩展，例如华硕(ASUS)、惠普、联想(Lenovo)、戴尔(Dell)等。每个制造商都添加了其独特的英国媒体报道软件集，其中可能包括McAfee LiveSafe、WinZip、TripAdvisor、WPS Office、Dropbox、Evernote或Norton Internet Security等应用程序。
在它们之上，他们添加了特定于供应商的应用程序，用于为您提供固件更新、驱动程序、技术支持选项、应用程序门户、用户文档、网络存储、通知等。
结果，当您购买新的Windows 10笔记本电脑、PC 或设备(PC or device)时，您第一次打开它时，就会被启动应用程序(startup apps)、提示、英国媒体报道的快捷方式等侵入。这不是一次愉快的体验，Microsoft应该考虑重新启动其Microsoft Signature 程序(Microsoft Signature program)，以便我们可以享受零软件膨胀(software bloat)、卓越性能和开箱即用的Windows 10 PC。(Windows 10)
(Apps)我们不被视为英国媒体报道但可能对某些用户无用的应用程序
除了捆绑在Windows 10(Windows 10)中的所有英国媒体报道软件之外，您还可以获得一些我们不认为是英国媒体报道软件的应用程序，但这些应用程序可能对某些用户没有用，具体取决于他们的需求和使用模式。Windows 10还捆绑了Groove Music 、地图、MSN Weather、Microsoft Tips、Netflix、Paint 3D、Spotify、Skype(, Maps, MSN Weather, Microsoft Tips, Netflix, Paint 3D, Spotify, Skype)和 Your Phone 等应用程序。
另一组可能被某些人视为过时软件的应用是Office 应用，包括 Outlook、Word、Excel、OneDrive、PowerPoint 和 OneNote。(Office apps, including Outlook, Word, Excel, OneDrive, PowerPoint, and OneNote.)Office 应用程序(Office app)可让您访问您的所有Office应用程序(Office apps)并通过向您显示您最近使用的文档和文件快速恢复您的工作。如果您的 Windows 10 PC 上没有安装完整的Office 套件(Office suite)，您还可以获得免费Office 在线(Office online)应用程序的快捷方式。
您认为哪些 Windows 10 应用程序过时软件？
我们的Windows 10膨胀软件列表可能并不完整。您认为垃圾的应用程序列表可能比我们所说的要高。此外，根据您所在的位置以及您购买的Windows 10 PC 的制造商，您可能会看到我们未提及的不同英国媒体报道软件。因此，在本文结尾处，告诉我们您是否发现了我们应该添加到列表中的其他Windows 10膨胀软件。(Windows 10)我们的一些朋友甚至建议OneDrive应该在我们的英国媒体报道列表中。你同意吗？在下方发表评论(Comment)，让我们发泄我们对Windows 10膨胀软件的不满。
How much bloatware does Windows 10 have?
Ever since its first version, Windows 10 always bundled apps that Microsoft wants us to use, even if we havе оther ideas. These apps are the so-called bloatware: software that we dоn't want or need, but which arе preinstalled on all Windows 10 computers and devices. Unfortunatеly, there are more than just a few such apps found on every Windows 10 installation, both on new and old PCs and devices. Here is what you might find on yours if yoυ are using a recent version of Windows 10:
Microsoft bundles Windows 10 bloatware by default
Windows 10 bundles quite a lot of unwanted apps. To get a clearer picture of just how much bloatware you get from Microsoft, we decided to install a clean Windows 10 operating system and compile a list of all the apps you do not need for it to run well. As you can see below, the list is pretty long and includes both third-party apps and apps developed by Microsoft.
Here is the list of bloatware you get in Windows 10 with May 2019 Update:
-
3D Viewer - the app is useful when you want to view 3D models for 3D printing or 3D animations for Mixed reality experiences. Most Windows 10 users are never going to need this app.
-
Age of Empires: Castle Siege - a mediocre game developed by Microsoft. It lets you rule your empire through the Medieval Era. It features several civilizations, including the Britons, Teutons, and Kievan Rus.
-
Asphalt 8: Airborne - a car racing game with beautiful visuals and many game modes, in which you can meet and drive speed cars from manufacturers such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Bugatti, and so on.
-
Bubble Witch 3 Saga - lets you shoot bubbles to defeat the evil. It is a game that both young and old can enjoy, but which is also bloatware for many users.
-
Candy Crush Friends Saga - a popular game created by the developers of Candy Crush Soda Saga and Farm Heroes Saga. The game is about cookies and candies, and about switching and matching them.
-
Candy Crush Saga - yet another Candy Crush game, with different visuals and slightly different gameplay.
-
FarmVille 2: Country Escape - Do you remember FarmVille? This is its next iteration: a game in which you enter a world of farming, harvests and raising animals.
-
Fitbit Coach - a fitness app that is designed to provide you with personalized training so that you stay motivated in your quest for a healthier lifestyle and a stronger body. One problem with this app is that it has limited free content, and to use it, you have to pay a subscription. Also, even Fitbit users may not want it on their PCs, and prefer this app on their smartphones instead.
-
Gardenscapes - a game in which your primary purpose is to restore a garden to its former glory.
-
Microsoft News - is an app developed by Microsoft and which is designed to give you the latest news from your region. Among others, you get curated news from top news providers such as The Washington Post, CNN, The New York Times, and so on.
-
Microsoft Solitaire Collection - a free collection of card games originating from the original Solitaire. Solitaire has been present in Windows for over 25 years now and includes Klondike (the classic Solitaire), Spider, FreeCell, TriPeaks, and Pyramid.
-
Mixed Reality Portal - useful only to Windows 10 users who have a virtual reality headset or a HoloLens, and a computer that is powerful enough to run mixed reality experiences. This app should have been made available in the Microsoft Store, and not preinstalled on most Windows 10 PCs.
-
Phototastic Collage - lets you create collages using your photos, with modern or classic designs.
-
PicsArt Photo Studio: Collage Maker and Pic Editor - includes a photo editor and a collage maker, and lets you edit and stylize your photos using effects, clipart, stickers, and other drawing tools.
-
Print 3D - this app is useful only to people who have a 3D printer, to prepare the printing of 3D objects. Since this is a niche market, most Windows 10 users do not need it, and this app should have been placed in the Microsoft Store, so that people who need it, can download, and use it.
-
Seekers Notes: Hidden Mystery - a classic hidden objects type of game that requires you to spend energy points to play scenes and puzzles.
-
Sports - the app is similar to Microsoft News. It is designed to show only sports-related news, making it useful only to sports fans from a limited number of countries. Its database does not cover sports news and data from all over the world, only from big countries like the US, Canada, Germany, Spain, and a few others.
-
The Secret Society: Hidden Mystery - another hidden objects game in which you have special powers, and you are the only one that can find your dear Uncle Richard.
-
Twitter - the official app of the popular Twitter social network. It is useful if you have a Twitter account and prefer using an app to connect to it, instead of using a web browser.
As you can see, the list above includes many casual games. They are free to play, but also provide paid upgrades and options. Most probably, Microsoft makes money from providing a vast number of installations for those games, and a commission from in-game purchases.
It doesn't stop here. Manufacturers of Windows 10 PCs and devices add more bloatware
Unfortunately, the list above only covers the bloatware that Microsoft tends to install by default in Windows 10. The list gets extended by the manufacturers of Windows 10 PCs and devices, like ASUS, HP, Lenovo, Dell, and so on. Every manufacturer adds its unique set of bloatware that might include apps like McAfee LiveSafe, WinZip, TripAdvisor, WPS Office, Dropbox, Evernote, or Norton Internet Security.
On top of them, they add vendor-specific apps for providing you with updates for firmware, and drivers, tech support options, app portals, user documentation, web storage, notifications, and so on.
As a result, when you buy a new Windows 10 laptop, PC or device, and you open it for the first time, you are invaded by startup apps, prompts, shortcuts to bloatware, and so on. It is not a pleasant experience, and Microsoft should consider restarting its Microsoft Signature program so that we could enjoy Windows 10 PCs with zero software bloat, excellent performance and only the basics you need, delivered out of the box.
Apps that we do not count as bloatware but which might not be useful for some users
Besides all the bloatware that is bundled in Windows 10, you also get some apps that we do not consider as bloatware, but which may not be useful to some users, depending on their needs and usage patterns. Windows 10 also bundles apps like Groove Music, Maps, MSN Weather, Microsoft Tips, Netflix, Paint 3D, Spotify, Skype, and Your Phone.
Another set of apps that some may consider as bloatware are the Office apps, including Outlook, Word, Excel, OneDrive, PowerPoint, and OneNote. The Office app lets you access all your Office apps and get back to your work quickly, by showing you your most recently used documents and files. If you do not have the full Office suite installed on your Windows 10 PC, you also get shortcuts to the free Office online apps.
What Windows 10 apps do you consider bloatware?
Our list of Windows 10 bloatware may not be complete. The list of apps that you consider junk might be higher than what we said. Also, depending on where you are, and the manufacturer of the Windows 10 PC that you have bought, you may see different bloatware that we did not mention. Therefore, at the end of this article, tells us whether you found other Windows 10 bloatware that we should add to the list. Some of our friends even suggested that OneDrive should be on our bloatware list. Do you agree? Comment below and let's vent our frustrations with Windows 10 bloatware.
