Is there any list of bloatware for laptop users?

[jdjinn]

Hi,

 

In many websites and forum I find people talking about bloatware but I haven´t  found a list of identified bloatware each company adds  to their products.  Do you know of any?

Something Like for example: company name--> laptop Model name --> list of bloatware.

Just clean install windows whenever you buy a prebuilt computer or laptop.

There's plenty of stuff running in the background you'll never find.

You don't even have to completely do a fresh install. Just follow this- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12415

(always make sure to backup your files)

That is not the same as a clean install.

If you actually want everything as barebones and new as possible you need to wipe everything and reinstall from scratch.

Otherwise there will probably be windows update issues or other problems in the future.

So clean installation is faster and way mor effective. Gotta do that at some point. tnx.
