Hey whats up you guys, Jerry here A.K.A Barnacules
And before we start todays video
I want to clear something up really quick.
You see this epic moustache right here,
dont worry its going away on December first.
already raised over $3,000 is a channel
for the movember foundation for men's
health
I'm quite proud of that but don't worry
it's coming off in December first I know
I know it looks like free candy van
material I i know this alright well as
you might have guessed today's video is
about Microsoft's unscrupulous practices
yet again if you guys didn't see my
first video on Windows 10 spying and how
to protect yourself against be sure to
watch it after this video I will have a
link down in the video description I
think it's down there if YouTube didn't
move it so today's video almost didn't
happen I was actually working on editing
the dirt fish rally footage from when I
went toe-to-toe with Jays two cents and
subaru brz rally cars and don't worry
that video is coming very very soon but
I had to stop because of what I
experienced I was doing some cleanup on
my pc to free up some hard drive space
on my SSD so I went into apps and
features in Windows and as I was
scrolling through looking for stuff done
install that I don't use anymore I
noticed that I had a few things that I
never installed I found that I had Candy
Crush Soda Saga whatever the hell that
is installed I had Farmville installed
in both of these were the full
installations like a couple of people
when I mention this on Twitter said oh
no these are just like placeholders no
no these are the full apps if you go
into the store app and open up there is
a play button there is not an install
button and plus the size of the installs
ranged from a hundred to one hundred and fifty megabytes so
that's bandwidth Microsoft used to
install crap i didn't want! On my Windows 10
build without me ever knowing about it
so first i thought this might have been
an isolated incident so I reached out to
you guys on Twitter and said hey how
many of you guys are finding this crap
in your apps and features now like
installed on your computer and I got
swamped with replies back with
screenshots of other stuff being
installed things like Netflix, pics and
art. So this of course prompted me to do
a little research and it turns out that
the Windows anniversary update that
everybody had to install it was forced
down upon us by the Microsoft gods
themselves included a nifty new feature
that allows Microsoft to take featured
games and force them onto your box without
your concent
or knowledge, this means that
Microsoft is making a ton of money off a
game like Candy Crush they go oh you
know what we're just gonna force that
down for free to every single person's
computer on earth so that they will open
it up and then buy in-app purchases
that's the thing I noticed is all the
apps that Microsoft was installing these
third-party apps all had in-app
purchases because Microsoft makes money
when you buy those in-app purchases so
needless to say that royally pissed me
off enough to make a video on how to
disable all this crap that Microsoft
decided to put in the anniversary update
and you guys need to be diligent every
time a new update comes out from
Microsoft you need to go back and check
and recheck all of these things because
as we discovered with the Windows 10
spying video a lot of people went and
did all that stuff and then right after
the anniversary update all that stuff
was reverted back to default Microsoft
went back and pulled all that crap out
and forgot all of your settings and
personal preferences and instead use the
their default settings and personal
preferences which allowed your computer
to send telemetry to Microsoft
allowed them to install apps on your
computer all kinds of crap you didn't
want obviously didn't want it because
you went disable those features so the
good news is after doing some research
there is a way to disable this sneaky
background process of installing
applications and you're gonna want to
disable it before you uninstall any of
those apps because I found that when I
uninstalled Candy Crush Soda Saga within
10 minutes back and add remove programs
together apps and features in Windows 10
I was like wait a second I just removed that
so there's definitely something going on
in the background that's like hey this
guy doesn't have this awesome game yet let's uh
shove it down on his box now before we
continue any further I want you to pause
the video and I want you to go into apps
and features you can just search for it
down in the little search bar hit your
Windows key and type it in and I want
you to go through the list of all the
installed applications and i want you to
see which applications in the Windows
Store you never asked to be installed
and more specifically just ignore the
Microsoft ones the ones like calendar
and news and everything ignore those
just look at the third party apps from
like Zynga and stuff like that were
installed on your box and I want you
guys to go down to the comments section
and tell me how many you found that you
honestly did not install I want to know
if you guys think that there is even an
inkling that you might have pushed the
button and installed it when it was free or
something like that then don't put it
down there but
you are a hundred percent positive you
never installed that thing is on your
box i want to know about it right now
down in the comments ok so before you go
and remove the hundreds of megabytes of
crapware that Microsoft bestowed upon
you without your knowledge we first need
to disable the mechanism that prevents
it from being installed again now for
that we're gonna have to open up
something called the registry editor
this might get a little bit scary but
just follow along so once the registry
editor is open you need to click on hkey
users and then under that you want to go
to software then go to Microsoft then go
to Windows then go to current version
and then go to content delivery manager
now under that folder there's going to
be a value called silent installed apps
enabled equals one you want to
double click that and change the 1 to a 0 and
press enter now once you made this
change go ahead and reboot the computer
just to make sure that the change is
honored when the service starts and then
go into your apps and features and
remove all of those applications that
you didn't want ok so now we got the
crapware off of the box that Microsoft
force you to download with your
bandwidth and consume your hard drive
space with so that's a great step now
the next step is how do we get you back
to a secure and private platform again
now no matter what you do you're not
going to get back to a hundred percent
secure and private platform because
Microsoft has made it clear at this
point that Windows 10 is for the sole
purpose of collecting data that's the
reason why they give it to the end user
for free and now they put a fee on it
because I think people are catching on
to why it was free and it's because
they're harvesting your data and selling
it and this is another example of how
they're doing that by putting games on
your box that aren't there in the hopes
that you will open them up get addicted
and install the DLC components which
they make money off of so if you guys
watched my other video I talked about a
program called do not spy 10 which
allows you to disable all of the
telemetry and spying stuff inside of
Windows 10 but I've been receiving a lot
of reports that after the anniversary
update its not working as well as it
used to and in some cases it was even
causing problems with the computer not
working so i went ahead and did a little
bit more research and I found a more
current application it's called destroy
Windows 10 spying and you install the
simple application and you can go
through it also use it to remove all of
the apps that Microsoft won't let you
remove like the news app and the calendar
app and all of that stuff it will let
you
permanently remove those from your
machine it also will add firewall rules
to prevent the OS from sending
information and telemetry back to
Microsoft about your usage habits and
things like that and it will make
entries to your hosts file to prevent
the edge browser and other stuff like
that for making connections the
Microsoft and also sharing data hence
locking down your box
now I know there's a few of you out there
that are kind of on the fence and agree
with Microsoft that it's okay for them
to do this kind of stuff because you
know hell cell phone manufacturers been
doing it forever
google has been collecting your private
data forever and pushing things down to
your box on your cell phone and stuff
like that when you're on the android
platform but i am here to save your
desktop operating system in my opinion
is excluded you have to realize that
your desktop operating system is the
platform that use for developing content
it's the platform you use for your most
secure data is your platform you use for
backups and creating things this is the
one safe haven that should be free of
spying and malware and I have to say
that I'm incredibly disappointed with
Microsoft in the direction that they've
taken over the last few years I have to
say that when I was laid off yes I was
angry that Microsoft laid me off two
years ago before the windows 10 project
came to fruition but I have to say that
they actually did me a service because
honestly I would be embarrassed to work
for the company today I think it is
absolute crap that they think internally
as a company it's okay to push DLC
content down to the box especially
pushing programs down to the box that
they didn't even develop that they don't
have the source code for how can
Microsoft guarantee that farmville and candy
crush are safe for your system and are
going to possess some kind of a security
issue
the answer is they can't they absolutely
cannot make that guarantee so why should
they be allowed to push that stuff down
uncontested I'm also really pissed off
that there isn't an obvious UI element
that's like do you want to opt in to us
giving you crap and forcing crap down
your throat on your box I think I think
that that option should exist it
shouldn't just be enable the feature and
then people have to modify registry keys
to disable it that's some bullshit
Microsoft now there's a couple of you
after that might be thinking why don't
you just roll back to Windows 7 or want
to roll back to 8.1 and the reason for
that is because Windows 10 contains
Direct X12 and it contains the Xbox
integration let you play games like
Forza Horizon 3 and Gears of War 4
natively on Windows and they actually run
better and look better than they do on
the actual console and I quite like both
of those games also Windows 10
performances actually really decent I
have a lot of respect for the components
that are inside of the operating system
like the kernel and the hell in the new
driver model that allow it to do some
amazing things with minimal resources
but what I don't like is that Microsoft
thinks it's okay in the background to
basically harvest your data push
whatever they want down to your box
whenever they want even when it's crap
they didn't even program that came from
a third party and they somehow are okay
with this
there is nothing when you're installing
Windows that pops up and says hey would
you like to check this box here to have
Windows automatically install crapware
on your box there's no little checkmark
that says hey check this box if you
would like Microsoft to send all of your
information your clicks all of your
searches everything to the Microsoft
mainframe to improve search accuracy
trust me there's a lot of marketing
research being done with that data
google has already paved the way for
that of course Microsoft going to use
your data for that and I know that a lot
of you aren't going to care if they use
your data for that and that is perfectly
okay if you guys are one of those people
out there that think it's okay for all
this crap to go on the background and
you really could care less than just
ignore this video that's fine just let
Microsoft run your life and that is cool
but the majority of us and I know this
from experience reading the comments on
my other video would like to have
control of our desktop operating system
we would like to be able to choose what
goes on to the computer and what doesn't
go into the computer we like having that
level of control we don't like Microsoft
graying out the uninstall button on a
bunch of crap apps from the store
because Microsoft developed them and
they want them on your box so we have to
use third-party programs to forcibly
remove them
that's the crap that I don't like you
guys have to realize I worked as a
senior software developer at Microsoft
for 15 years and shift every product all
the way up through Windows 8.1 and have
to say one of the things I prided myself
on when I was that company is that the
customer is first in Microsoft always
had the mantra back then they used to
they don't know under Satya but you have
the mantra that the customer always
comes first and it's always about
innovation and trust with the customer
ever since Satya came online is the
CEO of Microsoft that is all gone out
the window
Windows 10 now is all about collecting
data Microsoft is all about getting
everybody into the cloud so that they
can use you like a battery basically
like in the matrix for all intensive
purposes so I am here to say I am
completely disgusted with Microsoft for
the shit that they're doing and to be
honest i would like to see a formal
apology from Microsoft on social media
from their PR handlers let's say that
this is unacceptable and that you guys
are going to remove this crap and not
only that but you're not gonna do shit
like this again in the future
this is our computer once the operating
system is installed on that computer you
know what we need to have power over the
secure security of that platform it is
not a secure platform when you have crap
in there that allows you to shove down
third-party code on our box without our
permission
alright so it's time for a call to
action I want you yes you if you're
watching this video right now and you
agree with me on any level
I want you to take this video and I want
you to share as many places as humanly
possible
I want Microsoft to see this video I
want everybody to see this video and I'm
really really getting sick of the only
way to get changed from Microsoft now is
for everybody to discover the bullshit
they're doing and make it public
this is not the first thing Windows 10
is done there's been the telemetry
issues and the security issues in the
past that they talked about there's been
the problem with updates not being
tested and forced down to the box
breaking people's machines there have
been so many fumbles with Windows 10
that it's gotten ridiculous and the only
way that we ever get any kind of action
from them as we create a video that gets
over a million views and Microsoft goes
oh oh shit we should probably do
something about that that is not the
company that I work for 15 years that is
not the company that Bill Gates built
that is shit that's what that is and I
am calling you guys out for it
Microsoft i will continue to run your
operating system as long as every other
large software publisher requires it
like Adobe and a lot of stuff on steam
and a lot of stuff on origin but I hope
that those companies are working rapidly
to support a platform like linux because
they need to start moving away from
Windows because Windows is becoming a
dangerous and tyrannical platform now I
would love to see Microsoft switch that
around change their ways and go back to
what they used to be which is the
customers first and it's all about
innovation and it's about the operating
system being an operating system not
about the operating system being a means
for you to collect as much data as
humanly possible without the end-user
being aware of it
alright guys i'm actually noticeably
pissed off making this video I usually
don't get pissed off when i make videos
but this one I am certainly pissed off and
I hope that you guys can see that I hope
you get pissed off about this too
because you know what we don't need this
bullshit and the only way that we're
going to get things back to normal is if
Microsoft here's how loud we are is the
customers we are the people that use
their products we are the people that
rely on Windows every day to be creative
I'm using Windows right now to edit this
video using Adobe Adobe Premiere so
Microsoft stop your shit
share this video thank you
