Only if it's not supposed to be sequential after the first item.

Guys! wish me luck. i'm about to get a force push of windows 10 on my work machine!
i'm so excited i can hardly contain myself!so far so good. the install went great. only issue so far is that it hangs when putting the screen to sleep after locking the desktop. it just sits there on that bluish purple screen with the spinning dots until you come and press keys on the keyboard to wake it up and log back in.
weird, but i can live with it i guess.

I got none of those IIRC.

You mean those tiles on the Start Menu that just sit there and do nothing until you remove them?

oh they do something. they do something indeed.
they love to throw notifications at you to "try office!" or "try skype!"
and i swear that they come back after updates sometimes..... i'm almost 705 certain i've uninstalled that damn try office one six times on my home desktop already. and that one has Office 2016 Professional installed! I ALREADY HAVE OFFICE! WHY WOULD I TRY IT?!
-
@accalia No idea what's causing that then, as on my Surface, I told those tiles to sod off, and they've never come back

Maybe it's not 365ish enough? :)
In the testing VM I get those notifications quite a bit, but I've been assuming they're just resetting after every Fast ring OS reinstall. The only Office-related application it has is OneNote.
My tablet came with Office 2013 Home and Student and I don't recall being bothered to get more Office. I could have just blanked it out, though.

The much more sensible way is to install Windows 10.
You are a mindless MS drone. Somehow, that is more annoying than mindless Apple drones.

The others are just tiles, the "Try Office 365" is notification.
-

Possibly the "Try Office 365" App is not updated to recognize Office 2016. On my Surface Pro 3, the notification gone after I installed Office 2013 Home edition.
-
@accalia said in In which I accidentally Windows 10:

They do. But then I have the give-me-other-ms-updates checked. Right-click, uninstall. buh-bye. (I usually only see them again after a major OS refresh - so the machine on the fast ring sees them fairly often. My mainstream machines haven't far a while)
-
@cheong said in In which I accidentally Windows 10:

Which comes from the 'Get Office' application. Uninstall that and you'll never see the notification again.

Did I say going to the Moon was a half-baked idea? Did I fuck.
Yes. Yes you did.
If all half-baked ideas were ignored, we wouldn't have landed on the Moon.
ASSUME all half-baked ideas will be ignored
THEN the idea of the Moon landing would have been ignored
THEREFORE you imply people considered the idea of the Moon landing "half-baked"And I assert that is absolute bunk, because it wasn't considered a half-baked idea. Therefore you argument fallacy is "Ipso Absudro Moon Landing" or something.

I KNEW IT!
i mean i didn't know it for certain, because it takes a while for them to come back, but i could swear that they showed up on their own after i uninstalled.
if i uninstall tryoffice explicitly you think that that would be recognized and the update to it wouldn't reinstall it.....

I have learned. I just passed my knowledge on to you. You made an argument that I should try new ideas, because Moon landing. It's a very stupid argument to make.

It looks like you are trying Office there. Would you like some help with that?

@ben_lubar said in In which I accidentally Windows 10:
no way to remove it from your purchase history.
Who cares? Who's going around obsessing about their purchase history? "Oh noes, the store has a record of an application Windows foisted off on me and that I deleted 30 seconds after I noticed it!"
If you couldn't delete the app, that'd be something worth complaining about.
-
@accalia said in In which I accidentally Windows 10:

Psst: right-click on the notification. then click the menu item that lets you stop seeing notifications from that app.
-

I know... I keep hoping when another fast-ring drop happens, that that's what we'll see (or is that not see!). Should see another drop soon...

Well, there's your problem. You don't have office motherfucker.

Yes, but have you tried it?

i prefer
- notice the app is installed.
- find it in the start menu
- right click
- click uninstall
- flash the app the double "fuck you" as it uninstalls
- repeat when the app reappears.
it's less effective but more cathartic.

@Lorne-Kates For fuck's sake, just go read up on Robert fucking Goddard you fucking piece of shit

@Lorne-Kates Fine. Don't fucking learn about the guy who literally invented a key technology used for going to the fucking Moon.

I suppose that might bother some. But if I'm in the store, ads won't surprise me, you know what I mean? (Not that the store has ads, AFAIK.)
@Lorne-Kates said in In which I accidentally Windows 10:

Without meaning to be snarky, does this bother anyone? ( obviously we're talking about King's Isle or whatever the company name is, and not Zynga, not that I care, but I figured I'd mention it)

The closest I've seen to that is a really annoying habit of undoing my customizations to the Command Prompt. No, 8pt font is not Ok. I haven't seen it put any apps back I've gotten rid of. And I'm on fast ring, which would give me more chances to spot it.
-
@FrostCat said in In which I accidentally Windows 10:

This is expected, as each of these automatically installed apps is supposed to be user-level (i.e. each new user gets their own shiny copy of the Get Office App), and during an in-place upgrade, your profile is preserved, so the fact that it's not a new profile doesn't trigger the Cloud Experience thing that installs the apps, and therefore they remain uninstalled.

You're probably syncing settings. When working with hidpi(250%) and normal(100%) machines, syncing settings sucks.

Nope, and all my computers are on 100% dpi because I use software that doesn't work with hi dpi.

This is why I have a .reg file of things I changed, just in case. :D

Oh well, it was a shot-in-the-dark...
and all my computers are on 100% dpi because I use software that doesn't work with hi dpi.
I work with some programs like that. I finally "solved" it by setting the regkey:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide]
"PreferExternalManifest"=dword:00000001Then,
mt -inputresource:stupidpgm.exe;#1 -out:stupidpgm.exe.manifest
finally, edit that and change/add the dpiAware setting to false.

Why do I care about some crackpot who thought space travel was "half-baked"?
-
@Lorne-Kates Because Robert Goddard experimented with rockets and invented the liquid fuel rocket BECAUSE HE WANTED TO SEND PEOPLE TO THE FUCKING MOON YOU FUCKING MORON.
-
I'm not sure what this guy experimenting with rockets so people could go to the moon has to do with half-baked ideas though.
-
@loopback0 at first he wanted the liquid fuel to power ovens but they always exploded before his cupcakes were done did they came out half baked

Because everyone told him it was a dumbstupid idea.
Of course, if people had actually read up on the guy, they'd know that.

Why would you go there? No atmosphere and everyone's a lightweight…

Or if you want to demonstrate "dumbstupid" ideas, you could just say, "hey, RaceProUK." Just the name. All you need.
